Llanite Rhyolite

​

Llanite (also known as Llano Rhyolite, Texan Que Sera and Vulcanite) is a type of rhyolitic igneous rock with hexagonal bi-pyramids. It has Quartz inclusions, Microcline and Plagioclase Feldspars, Biotite, Iron Oxides, Magnetite and other trace minerals that form a conglomerate all within a deep brown matrix. The blue coloration of the quartz is due to ilmenite inclusions.  Llanite is somewhat rare.

​

Llanite is named after Llano County, Texas, the only place where it is found.
