The amazing intricate patterns of the stones in Miriam’s Private Mushroom Rhyolite Collection are gorgeous! Mushroom Rhyolite gets its name from its small fungal-like shapes in gray, taupe, and brown. The stones also show the typical rhyolitic pattern of red halos, and others are also brecciated (solidified) with quartz against a green background—another beautiful feature of the stones Miriam chose. Stones that look grayish-brown indoors, photograph in the bright sunlight showing their natural green hues. With her focus always on the natural stone colorations and patterns, Miriam used a minimum of Sterling Silver accents--small corrugated Sterling Silver beads in a twist pattern that complement the swirling mushroom patterns of the stones.

Length of the necklace, including the Sterling Silver Clasp and findings, is 18.5 inches.
Abstract Puffed Mushroom Rhyolite stones are approximately 25x31mm.
The Twisted Sterling Silver accent beads are 3mm.
Matching Earrings and Bracelet are available for this item by Custom Order. Contact Miriam for an estimate.

An interesting tidbit: Although the terms Ryolite and Rhyolite are generally used interchangeably, geologists refer to "Rhyolite" (Mushroom Rhyolite) as being grey, brown, or having a reddish-terra cotta hue. Both varieties are found in the USA and Africa.
