Stone healing uses rainforest rhyolite to strengthen an existing condition, but without changing it. The acceptance of one's weaknesses and faults is strengthened by the mineral.

The first scientific description of rhyolite was made in 1860 by Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen (1833 - 1905). The name Rhyolite is derived from the two Greek words "rhein" (to flow) and "lithos" (stone) and alludes to the volcanic origin. Of several possible spellings, e.g. rhiolite, riolite, ryholite or ryolite, rhyolite has become accepted in retail and wholesale. Eye jasper is a well-known synonym; the terms quartz porphyry and liparite are outdated.
