LLANITE SPHERE; FROM LLANO TEXAS; SUPER RARE, ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD; 12″ 100 LBS
Description
Llanite is a porphyritic rhyolite with distinctive phenocrysts of blue quartz (a rare quartz color) and perthitic feldspar (light grayish-orangish). The brown, fine-grained groundmass consists of very small quartz, feldspar, and biotite mica crystals.
Llanite comes from a hypabyssal porphyritic rhyolite dike that intrudes Precambrian metamorphics in the Llano Uplift of central Texas. Published radiometric dating on this llanite indicates that it’s 1.106 billion years old (late Mesoproterozoic).
