Variations in hydration within perlitised rhyolitic lavas - evidence from Torfajökull, Iceland

Perlitic fractures form due to the hydration of glassy, rhyolitic lavas. Perlitised lavas are also an important industrial commodity yet there has been little study on the mechanisms of outcrop perlitisation.
