Birdseye Rhyolite is a unique volcanic rock known for its vibrant coloration and distinct orbicular "eye" patterns that give it its name. This material was originally mined in Mexico, and according to our sources, the original deposits have long since been exhausted. Most of the Birdseye Rhyolite available through Lapidary Central comes from old stock that was originally acquired directly from original miners. It’s a visually striking and collectible stone that remains a favorite among cabbers and collectors alike.
📝 Natural Stone Disclaimer:
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations. If you have any questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us before ordering.
🖼️ Photo Disclaimer:
To best showcase the color, pattern, and potential of each stone, most photos are taken with the material wet to simulate the appearance of a polished finish. The final photo is taken dry to help highlight any natural surface imperfections such as fractures, pits, or voids. Please review all images carefully before purchasing.
Photos are taken with my monitor set to default display settings to minimize distortion. Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen.
