Sparkly Rocks

Sam has always liked rocks, especially ones that sparkle. This was her happy place. New lava has an iridescent glassy surface and depending on how fast it cools, it can create spots of different colors. It’s called pahoehoe and is quite beautiful. As it is exposed to the elements, it loses the color and turns black or red like most of the lava we have seen.

Since this is so fresh, 2018, there was a lot to look at.
