Picture of ryolite formation.

The chalky blocky formation is the ryolite. Unfortunatly the owners would not answer the doorbell, so I was unable to go through the formation in thier yard.

Some of it was very nice and some of it was leaverite. You just had to knock a piece off and see. The one thing I noticed was that you could hit on a piece and if it rang it was most likely a good one . If it didn't ring it was always bad.
