WebDescription: A lithophysa (plural lithophysae, from Greek lithos "stone" + physan "to blow") is a felsic volcanic rock with a small spherulitic cavity and concentric chambers. Its shape … Very large and cavernous spherulites are called lithophysae; they are found in obsidians at Lipari, in Yellowstone Park and other places. The characteristic radiate fibrous structure is usually conspicuous, but the fibers are interrupted by cavities that are often arranged as to give the spherulite a resemblance to a rosebud with folded petals separated by arching interspaces. Some of these lithophysae are several centimeters or more in diameter. Tridymite, fayalite and other mi…
