Rhyolite is a felsic extrusive rock. Due to the high silica content, rhyolite lava is very viscous. It contains grains so small that they are difficult to observe without a lens. Rhyolite is made up of quartz, plagioclase and sanidine, with minor amounts of hornblende and biotite. Trapped gases often produce vugs in the rock. These often contain crystals, opal, or glassy material.
