Variolite is a basaltic rock that was given the name from the Latin name for the virus that causes smallpox - Variola. \u003cbr\u003e\nThis is due to the pock marked appearance of the rock, and technically it is the blobs themselves that are the variolites \/ Varioles, these are radial aggregates (needle like crystals that grow out from the centre) that form within the basalt.\u003cbr\u003e\nVariolite is found in various places throughout the world, two of the most famous being along the Durance river in France, where these are from, and along the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Strictly speaking, Variolite is an old term, and instead the very catchy \"Variolite Pillow Lava\" should be used instead, it's just a little more of a mouthful!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The CC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211070583169,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/6004\/6403\/files\/Variolite_1.jpg?v=1788352896","url":"https:\/\/thecitrinecircle.com\/en-us\/products\/variolite-polished-1","provider":"The Citrine Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
