 RYOLITE: (also known as "Cuprite" or "Rainforest Jasper") is a rock composed mainly of Copper and Quartz. Although some use the terms "Ryolite" and "Rhyolite" interchangeably, the names used to define their colors varies greatly. Ryolite is an opaque mossy green gemstone sometimes flecked with tans, brown and occasional clear spots. The name Ryolite was derived from the Greek word "rhyx", which translates to "streams of lava". It is believed that Ryolite encourages change and creativity. It is said to help one resolve feelings of continuous victimization while fostering self-esteem and the capacity to love. Ryolite is credited for enhancing communication and listening skills, helping one to comprehend without distorting what is being said. Some spiritualists believe that this gemstone is helpful to those who are solitary and reclusive, fostering trust in allowing others to enter their lives and strengthening relationships.
