https://www.britannica.com/science/.....rlite-eruption -- they are a rare type of volcano where kimberlite lava extremely rapidly goes from the mantle and through the crust. They often bring rare gemstones with them. They produce a structure similar to a tuff ring -- https://www.britannica.com/science/tuff-ring . Geology is fun :) Also I live near two extremely large volcanic fields that have every type of structures above. San Francisco Volcanic field as well as the Springerville volcanic field. In the far north east of the state of Arizona is the world's largest kimberlight pipe in "Buell Park."
