Rainforest jasper, also known as rhyolite, is a volcanic rock that stands out with its diverse colors and patterns. It typically shows green, brown, yellow and red tones, often reminiscent of the lush vegetation of a rainforest. This variety of colors is created by the inclusion of various minerals such as quartz, feldspar, biotite and hornblende. Although the name "rainforest jasper" contains the word "jasper", it is actually rhyolite, a volcanic rock. The name is derived from the Greek "rheein" (to flow) and "lithos" (stone) and means "flowing stone". Rainforest jasper is valued as a healing stone. It is said to strengthen the immune system and help with infections and flu. It is also said to promote emotional balance and increase self-acceptance.
