Arco, Idaho · United States
Vesicular basalt at Craters of the Moon National Monument displays a porous, web-like structure. The volcanic rock is colored in contrasting rusty orange and dark bluish-teal, with directional light creating bright highlights and deep shadows within its cavities. Its texture is rough and sponge-like, composed of a network of interconnected, smooth-rimmed vesicles formed by trapped gas bubbles during cooling. Basaltic lava forms the rock, with orange coloration from surface oxidation of iron-rich minerals.
