The word rhyolite comes from the Greek word rhyax (stream) with the suffix "-ite" (rock). Rhyolite, extrusive igneous rock that is the volcanic equivalent of granite. Most rhyolites are porphyritic, indicating that crystallization began prior to extrusion. Crystallization may sometimes have begun while the magma was deeply buried. A collective term for silicic volcanic rocks consisting of phenocrysts of quartz and alkali feldspar, often with minor plagioclase and biotite, in a microcrystalline or glassy groundmass and having the chemical composition of granite.
