	Rhyolite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rhyolite is an igneous, volcanic (extrusive) rock, of felsic composition, with aphanitic to porphyritic texture.
		Rhyolite can be considered as the extrusive equivalent to the plutonic granite rock.
		Rhyolite, known as koga in Japanese, is indigenous to Niijima, Japan and Lipari, Italy.

		Rhyolite is an extrusive or volcanic rock which is generally fine-grained and possesses a felsic composition.
		Rhyolite is ususally light gray to pink in color, and it can form in two different ways.
		The most spectacular way to form rhyolite is to have a very explosive eruption which hurls hot lava and fragments of the volcano into the atmosphere.

	Rhyolite, Nevada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rhyolite, Nevada is a ghost town in Nye County, Nevada east of Death Valley near Beatty, Nevada.

		The most important operation was the Montgomery Shoshone mine and a mill was constructed to process its ore. The mine was sold to industrialist Charles M. Schwab in 1906 for a reported 5 million dollars.

	Rhyolite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Rhyolite is extrusive igneous rock that is the volcanic equivalent of granite.
		In most rhyolites, however, the period of such crystallization is relatively short, and the rock consists largely of a microcrystalline or partly glassy matrix containing a few phenocrysts.
		Rhyolites are known from all parts of the Earth and from all geologic ages.

		RHYOLITE is an igneous rock, and is probably the most common igneous rock in North Wales.
		RHYOLITE is a pale-coloured, extrusive, igneous rock, but its dark secret is that it has never been observed as a flowing lava.
		RHYOLITES are produced at low temperatures by partial melting of the crust, and most commonly this happens where subduction is causing 'oceanic' crust to descend into the hot interior of the Earth.

		Rhyolite was named streaming rock because of its beautiful flow bands, which are made of bubble- and crystal-rich layers that form as the lava flows onto the surface and advances.
		Rhyolite can look very different, depending on how it erupts and often has a similar appearance to leopard skin jasper.
		Effusive eruptions of rhyolite often produce obsidian, which is bubble-free and fl.

	Rhyolite Data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Description: Rhyolite* is an extrusive igneous rock composed primarily of alkalai feldspar (e.g., the potassium-rich feldspar orthoclase, which commonly has a salmon pink color), sodium-rich plagioclase feldspar (which is commonly white to gray), and quartz (which is commonly colorless).
		Rhyolites and granites (their intrusive equivalents) commonly have a pinkish tone due to the pink potassium feldspar.
		Granite and rhyolite are said to be felsic (or sialic) rocks because of their light tone, in contrast to the dark tone of the mafic rocks basalt and gabbro.

		The Miocene Topaz Mountain Rhyolite is composed of coalescing flows and domes of topaz-bearing alkali rhyolite and stratified tuff.
		Rhyolite eruptions consisted of an early, explosive phase that deposited stratified tuff followed by quiet eruption of viscous lava.
