An ignimbrite is a rock formed from hot pyroclastic flows. The groundmass is primarily flattened glass shards from pumice that are pulverized during eruption. Ignimbrites can contain flattened lens-shaped clasts, called fiamme (Italian for flame) of other material, usually pumice. Ignimbrites can have a variety of colors and clast materials and sizes. They are beautiful, but you wouldn’t want to be too close as they are being formed! See more at the link below!
