nice looking tumbles. Love the Ryolite. What is the difference and how do you tell the difference between ryolite and jaspers?

nice looking tumbles. Love the Ryolite. What is the difference and how do you tell the difference between ryolite and jaspers? I was told by three different people who all seem pretty knowledgable that this was jasper, chert, and rhyolite. I've collected a fair amount of chert and this is not chert. It does not have conchoidal fractures, which I believe jasper also has. This rock tends to have fractures between layers. Chuck made some cabs from this stuff and thought it worked like rhyolite. I'm not great at identifying rocks, so if anyone else has a different idea about what it is, I'm all ears.

I have picked a lot of that same rock from Superior beaches and from around home . A friend who has been rockin for over half a century identified it as rhyolite . So I am not going to dispute you Rob

Haven't really paid attention if it had conchoidal fractures. Was just kind of curious of the difference between jaspers and rhyolites.

At first glance the rhyolite looks like a picture jasper or a wood, very nice.
Peace,

Not sure how I missed this post. I really like the fifth single rock picture. Clear-ish on the left and light green on the right. Very nice. Also really enjoy seeing that rhyolite. Great batch!

Nice batch, Rob. I really like the rhyolite. I've got some lagunas rolling and am having a hard time getting what I want out of them. Your pics look good!
