Large Palmstone Rhyolite (Rainforest Rhyolite), 6,0 x 4,5cm

Rhyolite is also referred to as Eye Stone, Eye Jasper, Primeval Jasper, Rain Forest Stone, Rain Forest Jasper or Meta-Rhyolite in the stone healing literature. The mineral is used to reinforce what already exists without changing it. Thus, one's own situation can be clearly recognized and self-appreciated; self-acceptance is strengthened.

The Hand Flatterer Large Palmstone made of Rhyolite is 6.0 x 4.5cm in size and therefore very well suited, for example, for use in gemstone massage.

The first scientific description of rhyolite was made in 1860 by Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen (1833 - 1905). The name Rhyolite is derived from the two Greek words "rhein" (flow) and "lithos" (stone) and alludes to the volcanic origin. Of several possible spellings, e.g. rhiolite, riolite, ryholite or ryolite, rhyolite has prevailed in retail and wholesale. Eye jasper is a well-known synonym; the terms quartz porphyry and liparite are outdated.
