Done like a pro!  The green colored Orbicular rhyolite looks like the Rainforest Jasper, nice result.  I must say that Rainbow Ridge really came out spectacular!  I finished up only the second of what you sent me, you are too fast for me!  On the Flow banded rhyolite, if you look closely with a hand lens, you may be able to pick out some gold ribbons bedding flow bands.  It comes from the Golden Queen mine in Mojave which is being actively mined for gold.

Lots of cool stuff. The rainbow ridge makes me think of an unlikely fusion of Madagascan indigo gabbro and Calif. stone canyon.  But better!

I think we have found orbicular rhyolite in three places now in Utah.  Came out great Jay.  You always do a great job.
