Rain-forest jasper or Rain-forest Rhyolite is a volcanic rock composed primarily of quartz and other minerals to give it its color. The name Rain-forest jasper was derived from the impressionistic patterns resembling the foliage within a rain-forest. Rain-forest Rhyolite has been very hard to find commercially. It was mined exclusively in Queensland, Australia. There is some suspicion that the deposit has been mined out.

The face of this specimen has three connected irregular shaped translucent patches surrounded by white bands. The remainder of the stone has various shades of greens and pale yellows.

The stone is cut in Skewed Navette or Marquise with both an upper and lower girdle to facilitate setting the stone. The stone measures 1.99 x 1.02 x 0.22 inches. The cabochon is polished to a high vitreous luster.
