Rain forest jasper isn’t a jasper it is a trade name for a form of rhyolite found at Mount Hay in Queensland Australia.
Rainforest Jasper is a rare type of rhyolitic lava. Gas bubbles are trapped in the lava flow during cooling, creating pockets which are filled, or partially filled by siliceous material, which may be Agate, Jasper, Quartz Crystal or other minerals.
Rainforest Jasper is known by several other names around the world. These include Spherulitic Rhyolite, Agatised Rhyolite and Green Rhyolite.
The front is polished and the back is left rough.
All photos are taken with the rock dry.
Comes with free stand as seen in the photos.
Please Note
As all of our stones are natural there may be cracks, holes and other imperfections. All of our stones are natural and we don’t do any crack or void filling. We don’t use oils or waxes to enhance our stones. We polish our stones by using finer and finer diamond polishing pads followed by different types of polishing oxide.
We do our best to show the true nature of our stones. Different computers and phones display colours differently.
