Formed from silica-rich lava, it cools slower than basalt, allowing minerals to separate, flow, and reorganize. The result is layered color, mottled texture, and complex patterning that looks almost engineered — but isn’t.
Provenance:
France, Germany, Andes, Yellowstone, New Zealand, India.
Why wear Rhyolite?
Because complexity can be calm.
Because structure doesn’t have to be minimal.
Because natural systems outperform forced design.
