Rhyolite is a rock. Properties of rhyolite
is a porphyry-type porphyry rock or essentially volcanic glass with various impurities. The most common impurity is feldspar; inclusions of quartz, plagioclase, pyroxene, biotite, and hornblende are slightly less common. Rhyolite is a volcanic rock, a fine-grained variant of granite. By the way, rhyolite without impurities is called obsidian, and they are often adjacent to each other. The color of the mineral is represented by light shades, mainly white porous crystals.
Deposits of liparite have been found almost everywhere, at least where there are volcanic zones. You should look for the mineral in the area of lava flows and ash accumulations. Russian deposits are concentrated in the Caucasus region, in the Amur and Kamchatka regions. Large reserves have also been found in Italy, Azerbaijan, a number of American states, and Ukraine.
Rhyolite was named by two scientists at the same time: the first researcher called it rhyolite, which translated from Greek means “flowing” or “flow,” and the second gave the name “liparite” in honor of the Lipari Islands. Today, both names are common and are synonymous.
How to successfully buy rhyolite?
This stone has not found any application in the jewelry industry, and it can be classified as an ornamental stone with great difficulty. To a large extent, it is used for decorative purposes in construction as a facing stone. Since rhyolite is formed during the solidification of lava flowing from the depths of a volcano, the structure of the stone is a collection of tiny crystals, internal cavities, gas bubbles, cracks, and glassy inclusions.
As a rule, the mineral consists of large formations of glass, but in rare cases, solid, full-crystalline specimens are also found. Less commonly, inclusions of jasper, hornfels, etc. can be seen in the structure of rhyolite.
The magical properties of rhyolite
Lithotherapists consider rhyolite a stone that stabilizes the physical and mental state. It is good to use it as a preventive measure to prevent an impending illness or nervous disorder, as well as to ease the pain of the patient and give confidence in one’s strength.
Rhyolite is considered a kind of talisman for couples who are married or about to enter into a relationship. It strengthens the relationship between people and protects family happiness. A figurine or sculpture made of liparite is an excellent gift for newlyweds, just lovers and more. The stone is well suited for people seeking constancy and stability in life, having noble aspirations and spiritual beauty.
In a brief description, the most common igneous rocks are divided by origin into two groups: intrusive and effusive. Each group is divided according to its chemical composition.
Intrusive rocks– full-crystalline in structure.
Medium (10–50% dark) – syenites, syenite pegmatites; diorites, quartz diorites.
The main ones (50–90% dark) are gabbro.
Ultrabasic (more than 90% dark) – dunites, pyroxenites, peridotites.
It is necessary to pay attention to the concept analogue (effusive, intrusive). Analogues are called rocks that are identical in chemical and mineral composition, but different in appearance (structure and texture) due to different conditions of magma solidification. For example, rocks were formed from acidic magma both deep within the Earth and on its surface. At the same time, holocrystalline, massive granites arose in the abyssal zone. In the hypabyssal zone there are holocrystalline, porphyritic, massive rapakivi granites. On the surface, after the eruption of the same magma, incompletely crystalline porphyry or glassy quartz porphyries and liparites froze. Thus, the chain of analogues will be represented by all the named rocks - their chemical and mineral compositions are identical, but their appearance is completely different.
For ease of definition, we provide a short list of some intrusive rocks and their effusive analogues.
Granite, granodiorite, granite pegmatite – quartz porphyry; liparite.
Syenite, syenite pegmatite – trachyte.
Diorite, quartz diorite – andesite; andesitic porphyrite.
Gabbro – gabbro-porphyrite; basalt; diabase.
Pyroxenite, dunite, peridotite – picrite; kimberlite
Obsidians, volcanic tuffs and pumice are rocks of variable chemical and mineral composition. They can serve as effusive analogues of various intrusive rocks: felsic, intermediate and basic. In addition, there is also a group vein analogues - rocks of intrusive origin, formed in extended but narrow cracks diverging from larger intrusive bodies. Typical representatives of vein analogues are pegmatites.
Forms of occurrence igneous bodies depend on their chemical composition and on the conditions under which the magma solidifies. The higher the silica content in magma, the lower its mobility. Consequently, rocks of acidic composition form compact bodies, spheroidal ones – batholiths and stocks among intrusive bodies, domes – among volcanic formations. On the contrary, liquid basic magma underground easily penetrates even into narrow cracks, forming dikes and sheet intrusions. When pouring onto the surface, the main magma spreads over long distances, creating flows and covers. Melts of average chemical composition, depending on viscosity, can create bodies of different shapes - characteristic of both acidic and basic rocks.
Inside magmatic bodies, systems of regularly oriented cracks are formed, which are called crackedseparately. Slowly cooling intrusive bodies are dissected by cracks along the margins - parallel to the contacts with the side rocks. The result is separation reservoir or plate-shaped. If such a system of cracks is intersected perpendicularly by other cracks, then a parallelepipedal separateness. Under the influence of weathering, the tops and edges of the parallelepipedal part are smoothed out, which leads to the formation mattress-like separately. Inside rapidly cooling lava flows and covers, vertical systems of cracks appear, breaking the rock into parallel columns (prisms) - this is how columnar separateness. A rapidly cooling melt of basic composition is characterized by simultaneous contraction towards numerous isolated centers. Spherical cracks appear around such centers - a ball separateness in which each ball is divided into shells.
Effusive rocks are divided into two groups: cenotypic(young; not changed by weathering processes) and paleotypical(ancient; modified by weathering processes)
Granite – acidic rock of intrusive origin. Color ranges from light gray (almost white) to gray, orange-yellow, pink, meat-red. Consists of quartz (25–30% of the rock volume), orthoclase; Accessories most often include hornblende, muscovite and biotite. Varieties of granite are named either by their mineral composition or by their structural and textural features. Thus, according to the predominant dark minerals, they are distinguished granitebiotite,hornblende,pyroxene and so on. The structure of granite is holocrystalline, uniformly crystalline or porphyritic; texture - massive. Fine-crystalline varieties of granite, almost devoid of dark minerals, are called uplit. Porphyritic granites with giant isometric crystals of red orthoclase, edged with small quartz crystals - granite-rapakivi. In the earth's crust, granites form the largest intrusive bodies: batholiths, stocks, and, less commonly, lopoliths and dikes. Granites are characterized by layered, mattress-like individuality.
Granodiorite – felsic rock of intrusive origin, holocrystalline structure and massive texture. The breed is gray in color. It differs from granite in the smaller presence of quartz and low content of orthoclase (no more than 30% of all feldspars contained in the rock). Thus, granodiorite is darker than granite, the color of granodiorite is cooler, and there are few richly shiny quartz crystals in it. If there is a lot of quartz in the intrusive rock, and there are no more than 10% dark-colored minerals, then it is granite; if there is a lot of quartz, but dark minerals contain up to 25% - quartz diorite. The occurrence patterns of granodiorites are the same as those of granites.
Granite pegmatite – acidic and light intrusive rock, vein analogue of granite. The main rock-forming minerals are the same as those of granite. At the same time, pegmatites are characterized by an increased participation of volatile components (H 2 O, B, F, Cl, etc.), as well as minerals containing rare elements (beryllium, uranium, niobium, lithium, etc.). The main distinguishing feature of these rocks, in addition to the light color, is the pegmatite texture - it is created by the mutual germination of giant crystals, which creates a unique pattern on each new rock chip. Sometimes germination creates a pattern reminiscent of ancient cuneiform - then the rock is called writtengranite. Deposits of muscovite, beryl, emerald, tourmaline, zircon, and topaz are associated with pegmatites.
Liparit (rhyolite ) is a cenotypic effusive rock of felsic composition. The rocks are light gray, warm shades. The structure is porphyritic - a glassy mass predominates, interspersed with quartz crystals and, often, orthoclase. Euhedral (angular) crystals are more common. The texture of the rocks is spongy, often fluid. Liparites form domes, less often - flows and dikes.
Quartz porphyry (rhyolitic porphyry ) is a paleotype effusive rock of felsic composition. Color light gray, brown, meat red, pink. The structure is porphyritic - xenomorphic (spherical) crystals of orthoclase and quartz are included in the glassy mass. The texture of the rocks is massive, less often spongy. Quartz porphyries occur in the same way as liparites.
Syenite – intrusive rock of medium composition. The structure is full-crystalline, most often medium-crystalline. The rock is similar to granite, from which it differs in the absence of quartz - syenites consist of orthoclases (up to 70%), mica and hornblende (up to 10%), as well as plagioclases. Depending on the color of orthoclase, the color of syenite is either red-brown or gray. Syenites form stocks and dikes. Syenites are characterized by sheet or parallelepipedal separation.
Trachyte – cenotype effusive analogue of syenite. The color is light gray in different shades - from pinkish-gray to greenish-gray. The structure is porphyritic, the texture is spongy. Porphyry inclusions are formed by euhedral crystals of green hornblende, mica, and feldspars. Trachites form domes and streams.
Nepheline syenite - an intrusive (holocrystalline) rock similar to syenite. The color of nepheline syenite ranges from red-brown to gray. The rock consists of feldspars and nepheline. Nepheline can easily be confused with quartz - it should be remembered that nepheline is not transparent, while quartz is translucent even in large crystals. These two minerals never form paragenesis (they do not occur together). In the earth's crust, nepheline syenites form stocks and dikes. Effusive analogues of nepheline syenite are extremely rare.
Diorite – intrusive rock of medium composition. The color is greenish-gray, the structure is holocrystalline, most often medium-crystalline. Consists of plagioclase (up to 50%) and hornblende (up to 45%). Biotite and augite are typical accessory minerals; olivine is less common. Diorites form stocks, laccoliths, and veins.
Andesite – cenotype effusive rock, an analogue of diorite. The color is dark greenish-gray. The structure is porphyritic, the texture is porous. Porphyry inclusions are represented by euhedral, elongated crystals of plagioclase and hornblende. The glassy luster and perfect cleavage are clearly visible on the surface of the crystals. Andesites occur in the form of covers, flows, and domes.
Andesitic porphyrite – paleotype effusive rock, analogue of diorite. The color of the rock is green-gray, dark gray, the structure is porphyry. The phenocrysts are formed by dirty gray feldspar crystals, the surface of which is almost devoid of shine, and the cleavage planes are difficult to see. Andesitic porphyrites occur in the form of covers, flows, and domes.
Gabbro – an intrusive rock of basic chemical and variable mineral composition. Gabbros are dark-colored rocks, their main feature is the dominance of green or black (dark gray) minerals. Therefore, the name of a specific sample is given taking into account the predominant dark mineral: labradorite gabbro, hornblende, pyroxene, etc. The structure of gabbro is holocrystalline, uniformly crystalline. The share of light (gray) plagioclase crystals accounts for no more than 40%, while the remaining 60% is occupied by black-green hornblende, augite, and olivine. Gabbros form large laccoliths and sheet intrusions. Gabbro is characterized by sheet, block and parallelepipedal divisions.
Basalt – cenotype effusive rock, analogue of gabbro. The color ranges from dark gray to deep black, the breed is very heavy. The structure is aphyric or porphyritic, the texture is porous. Porphyry inclusions are represented by euhedral crystals of hornblende and plagioclase - they stand out sharply against the dark background of the main mass of the rock. Basalts are the most common volcanic rocks - they form gigantic volcanic covers (traps) and flows; The basalt layer lies at the base of the entire earth's crust. Basalts are characterized by columnar pentagonal or hexagonal patterns. Under the influence of weathering, basalts can acquire a rusty-brown color, which is caused by the oxidation of iron.
Diabase – paleotype effusive or hypabyssal rock, analogue of gabbro. The grey-green color is very characteristic. The structure is cryptocrystalline or porphyritic. Diabases consist of heavily degraded plagioclases and pyroxenes. Diabases make up dikes, sheet intrusions, and volcanic nappes.
Pyroxenite – intrusive rock of ultramafic composition. Color black, black-green; The structure is full-crystalline, uniformly crystalline. Pyroxenites consist of pyroxenes (up to 75%) and olivine (up to 30%).
Dunit – intrusive rock of ultramafic composition. Color from black to black-green; The structure is full-crystalline, uniformly crystalline. Dunites consist of rounded medium to small olivine crystals. Weathering, olivine turns into the mineral serpentine, therefore, on the surface of weathered dunite samples, a light olive weathering crust stands out in contrast, different from the dark green “core” of the rock.
Peridotite – intrusive rock of ultramafic composition. The color is black-green, the structure is full-crystalline, medium-crystalline. Peridotites consist of olivine (up to 70%) and pyroxene; weathering crust on their surface may be absent or have a blurred boundary.
A feature of a number of igneous rocks is the variability of their composition - chemical, and therefore mineralogical. First of all, this concerns pyroclastic (clastic volcanic) rocks: volcanic bombs And lumps ,lapilli ,volcanic sand ,ashes And dust , and volcanic tuffs (fused igneous debris). Obsidians and pumice stones are also characterized by their variable composition.
Obsidians – volcanic glass with massive texture. Specimens of this rock most closely resemble hardened resin. Obsidian is characterized by a pronounced conchoidal fracture and razor-sharp translucent chips.
Pumice - macroporous, very light, igneous rock that does not sink in water. The most typical color for pumice is gray (light, gray or dark gray), as well as brick-brown.
Volcanic tuffs – macroporous, but, unlike pumice, sinking in water. The coloring is very different.
Rhyolite stone is a volcanic glass that contains various impurities. Most often among these impurities, ordinary feldspar is found; inclusions of other substances can be observed much less often. The name is translated literally from Greek as “flowing” or “flow”. The second name of the mineral, liparite, was given to it in honor of the Aeolian Islands. Rhyolite is mined wherever there are volcanic zones. Large reserves of this gem are available in Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and some states of the USA.
Most often, rhyolite is used for construction purposes; it is almost impossible to find it in jewelry. However, the mineral is very popular among lithotherapists and boasts rich magical properties. Rhyolite serves as a powerful talisman for married couples and helps all those who are planning to unite their destinies through legal marriage. This explains the fact that the mineral is usually given at weddings as a talisman of family happiness and well-being.
Rhyolite helps all those who seek stability and constancy in life and strive to achieve high goals. The gem is especially suitable for people who have inner harmony and are guided by noble goals. In terms of healing, the stone is able to harmonize psychological and physiological states.
Rhodochrosite
The delicate, unusually beautiful mineral rhodochrosite has a pleasant, rich crimson color, which can be of varying degrees of saturation and have a brownish or golden tint. The stone also goes by such names as manganese spar or crimson spar.
Today, rhodochrosite is highly valued as a collection stone. Most often, large specimens are used to make decorative items, since only in them can one see all the beauty of the gem. Rhodochrosite can be found as a material for a vase or box. Much less often, beads are made from it. Externally, this stone is often confused with rhodonite.
The healing properties of this mineral are widely used in folk medicine. It is believed that it is able to cleanse the blood and the entire body of toxins and waste.. Daily contemplation of the stone, according to lithotherapists, can restore healthy vision. Rhodochrosite is used to create special massage balls, which are widely used in oriental medicine. In addition, the stone has a positive effect on the state of the cardiovascular system.
Rhodochrosite is considered to be a talisman of love, passion and vitality. It is believed that it can bring family happiness and prosperity to any home, while protecting against the influence of all dark and destructive forces. The mineral fully reveals its best qualities to representatives of the Zodiac signs Gemini and Libra.
Rhodusite
The grey-blue mineral got its name after the place where it was first discovered - the island of Rhodes. Rhodusite comes in varieties that are extremely popular and valued throughout the world. For example, in India, Pakistan and Nepal, a decorative variety of the mineral, the “hawk’s eye” stone, is especially revered. The most valuable ornamental variations of the mineral include opalized rhodusite and “brocade”.
Hawkeye Rhodusite has long been known for its magical properties. From ancient times to our time, legends about the unique internal power of this mineral have survived. Hindus insist that rhodusite can work real miracles. There is an opinion that a talisman based on rhodusite can become a powerful amulet in the home. It helps to sharpen intuition and protect its owner from the evil thoughts of enemies and ill-wishers. It is believed that the stone inserted into the ring begins to increase in weight when danger approaches.
Lithotherapists talk about the universal anti-inflammatory properties of the mineral. “Hawkeye” can strengthen the immune system and improve the functioning of all body systems of its owner. Rhodusite is ideal for anyone who is subject to severe nervous tension or systematic stress. It promotes more active healing of wounds and accelerates the healing of broken bones. There is a belief that the stone improves vision. Hawkeye is ideal for Capricorns, Scorpios and Aquarius.
Rubellite
The mineral rubellite received its name due to its rich color, since the Latin rubelus literally translates as “red.” The unusual color of rubellite is due to manganese impurities.
Lithotherapists note the strong healing properties of the mineral. Rubellite is capable of activating the body's activity; it has a particularly strong effect on the endocrine glands. The stone is recommended to be used to improve memory and strengthen the immune system.. Carrying jewelry with this mineral can improve skin color and increase the body's resistance to stomach and intestinal diseases. Pink samples of the mineral can cope with nervous tension, insomnia and other sleep problems.
Rubellite is widely used by modern practicing magicians. Like all red materials, this stone represents love, passion and a pure heart. To more effectively use the magical properties of the stone, rubellite is recommended to be worn in products. The mineral gives its owner more confidence in himself and his strengths, helps to reveal hidden talents and abilities. It is better to wear a ring with a gem on the index or middle finger.
According to the zodiac sign, the stone is ideal for all representatives of the Libra sign. For Libra women, rubellite will help them find simple family happiness, while men will receive powerful help from the mineral in complex and intractable situations.
rhyolite-kainotype effusive rock of acidic composition of the normal series from the rhyolite family, in which phenocrysts of quartz, plagioclase N 5-15, sanidine (sometimes biotite, hornblende, magnetite) are immersed in the groundmass. The groundmass is glassy or microfelsitic, less commonly spherulitic. The content of volcanic glass is from 50 to 100%. Fine-grained analogue of granite. Diagnostics. Uneven, rough fracture . Texture. Glassy. The term rhyolite was coined in 1861 by Richthofen from the Greek word for “flowing.” Yu. Roth in the same 1861 introduced the term “liparite” for the acidic effusive rocks of the island of Lipari. Currently, the main term is rhyolite, and liparite is considered an equal synonym.
Varieties. Rhyolites, a cenotype effusive rock rich in silica (68-77%); has a porphyritic structure, containing phenocrysts of quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, and less commonly biotite or pyroxene, embedded in a glassy groundmass, usually of a fluid texture. Obsidian is a glassy (almost without phenocrysts) variety of liparite. They are often dark, brown, brown and black in color. Perlites are shell-like varieties of obsidians. Pumice is a light, very porous, light acidic outpoured rock. Pumice is a product of underwater outpourings. Pechsteins are black, red, brown, greenish, sometimes yellowish, less often white volcanic glasses with a resinous sheen.
Form of occurrence. It occurs in the form of lava flows, volcanic domes, and ash accumulations.

2. Characteristics of statistical mathematics methods used in mineralogical and petrographic studies. In mineralogy, during analytical studies, a calculation is formed with the initial data, which is a set of observed (measured) values of a random variable (mineral, metal content, etc.), characterized by some distribution function. The values of a random variable usually change. They are characterized by the dispersion of a random variable - a measure of its dispersion around the arithmetic mean, which is determined by the formulas
When studying source data in mineralogy, the following three tasks are usually set:
1. Identification and interpretation of correlations between quantities.
2. Classification of ores by material composition.
3. Selection of a method for predicting technological indicators based on the material composition of ores.
To identify connections between values, correlation analysis is used, as a result of which correlation coefficients (paired) are determined, which are a measure of the linear relationship between two random variables:
At r = 0 there is no dependence between random variables. It is considered established if the correlation coefficient in absolute value differs from zero, which is established using an approximate condition.
The significance limit of the correlation coefficient can be determined from the tables, where it depends on the number of samples (vertically) and on the confidence probability (across horizons). If r > 0, then the relationship between random variables is direct (as the values of one value increase, the values of the other increase), if r< 0, то обратная.
Correlation coefficients are widely used to approximate the relationship between processing quality indicators.
The correlation coefficients are combined in the form of a correlation matrix - a table of paired correlation coefficients between random sample variables, in which the number of rows is equal to the number of columns.
From the history : In 1861, Ferdinand von Richthofen introduced the concept of “rhyolite,” which translated from Greek means “flowing stone.” The name of the mineral comes from the Greek rhyah, meaning “flowing,” “lava,” or “flow,” and lithos, “stone.” Another name, liparite, arose in connection with the location of its discovery in the Aeolian Islands in Italy (1861, Justus Roth). In the same year, Justus Roth coined the term "liparite", used for the felsic effusive rock that characterizes the island. Lipari.
Liparite is a product of volcanic activity in which hot lava flow was erupted onto the surface of the earth and subjected to relatively rapid cooling. Elements of nature such as water, ice and the atmosphere stopped its further crystallization into granite. Liparit traditionally occurs in the form of domes or needles, less often - in the form of small covers or flows, layers, and produces bodies of more complex shape. Liparite can also form as ash accumulations. The formation of liparite may be accompanied by inclusions of clastic formations - for example, tuffs or other volcanic agglomerates. Liparite is often defined as volcanic glass with various impurities, or is given a catchy designation for the volcanic analogue of granite. The places where liparite (rhyolite) is mined are volcanic zones of the globe. Today liparite and rhyolite are considered synonymous....
Chemical composition: SiO - 72, 80; K2O - 4.46; Al2O3 - 13.49; Na2O - 3.38; Fe2O3 - 1.45; H2O - 1.47; CaO - 1.20; FeO - 0.88; MgO - 0.38; TiO2 - 0.33; P2O5- 0.08; FeO - 0.88 (% by weight)...
Liparites may contain from 50% to 100% volcanic glass. Inclusions of dark-colored minerals are quite rare. Porphyry inclusions, as a rule, are represented by various feldspars - quartz, sanidine, plagioclase. Very rarely and in small quantities there may be inclusions of biotite or hornblende. Biotite inclusions in the rhyolite structure visually resemble shiny leaves, and hornblende traditionally has the form of needle-shaped or elongated crystals.
The structure of liparite in the main mass will be glassy or porphyritic, less often it will be cryptocrystalline or fine-grained formations with a fine-porous texture. Liparite is formed during the solidification process of magma that flows from the depths of volcanoes, so the structure of the stone can be formed by a combination of tiny crystals, gas bubbles or cracks, internal planes and glassy inclusions. The flow of lava often results in a streaky or fluid texture.
Impurities: feldspars, quartz, pyroxene, plexiglass, biotite.
Texture: porous...
Specific gravity: 2.3 - 2.4...

Gloss: oily, resinous, glassy...
Color: Traditionally, the color of liparite is represented by white, yellowish or light gray shades. Less common are specimens with a pinkish color. Note that varieties of liparite, the bulk of which is glassy, can be visible in areas of a thin layer. It is known that glassy varieties of liparite are also characterized by a black, bluish-gray or greenish-gray, reddish color. Very rarely, such varieties of liparite are painted white.
Varieties of liparite(rhyolite) Depending on the structural features or inclusions in the composition of liparite, there are different varieties of this rock. For example, liparite without quartz inclusions is called felsite. A glassy variety with a dark color (from brown and brown to black), in the structure of which there are practically no inclusions, is called obsidian. Perlite is a shell-like variety of obsidian. Pumice is a porous, very light variety of liparite that forms through underwater eruptive processes. A variety of liparite, called pechtstein, is a volcanic glass with a characteristic resinous luster and color in brown, reddish, greenish, yellowish or black shades.
Application: It so happened that liparite did not find industrial application, with the exception of in certain cases (in construction and for glass production). In jewelry, the stone began to be used only recently and in small quantities.
But as an ornamental material, people have been using it for a long time. Thanks to its picturesque texture, which is very reminiscent of jasper, this stone can be found in the form of tumbling and cabochons in stores and at exhibitions under the trade name “oceanic jasper” or “Madagascar jasper”. Recently, this stone has gained popularity as an amulet, talisman, and talisman. Liparite (rhyolite) is a stone of harmony.
Lithotherapists consider Liparite a stone that stabilizes the physical and mental state. It is good to use it as a preventive measure to prevent an impending illness or nervous disorder, as well as to ease the pain of the patient and give confidence in one’s strength.
Liparit is considered a kind of talisman for couples who are married or just about to enter into a relationship. It strengthens the relationship between people and protects family happiness. A figurine or sculpture made of liparite is an excellent gift for newlyweds, just lovers and more. The stone is well suited for people seeking constancy and stability in life, having noble aspirations and spiritual beauty.
