Rainbow Hickoryite

Hickoryite is a striking red, pink, and yellow banded variety of rhyolite, found primarily in Rodeo, in the state of Durango, Mexico. A variation known as autumn or rainbow hickoryite tends to feature more earthy tones—browns and tans accented with red, pink, or yellow bands.

Visually, hickoryite resembles wonderstone, another banded rhyolite, though wonderstone is slightly harder. The beautiful striations and colorful bands seen in hickoryite are the result of lava flow patterns during the stone’s formation.

The name hickoryite is inspired by its resemblance to hickory wood, especially the layered appearance that echoes the grain of the tree.
