Anybody know some lore about Hornblende?

Or Rhyolite?

I'm curious since I picked up a tumbled piece at Michaels a few years back and just figured out what this rock is. :lol:

HORNBLENDE - Wisdom Communication Balance, Toes, Fingers

RHYOLITE (AKA Rainforest Jasper) - It is known as a stone of resolution and perseverence. It is said to help communication of all kinds, and helps one listen easily and without distorting the message one is hearing. It is also a wonderful stone for meditaiton. Rainforest Jasper balances the Yin/Yang (masculine and feminine) energies. It can help one allow other people into their lives, even if one has been reclusive or solitary. It is also a stone of protection. Physically, Rainforest Jasper is used for cleansing the liver, regeneration, and general healing. It is related to and helpful with the solar plexus chakra primarily, and also the throat chakra.

Thank you!

I had sooo much trouble identifying it because it's not very highly polished, and not translucent at all! Once I did find a match on the internet I had no idea what it's properties were!
