The largest, and most spectacular spring in the park is the Grand Prismatic Spring. It sits on a bed of rhyolitic rock which is a light colored volcanic rock with high silica content. Different species of microbes flourish in specific temperatures and contain pigments which colour the surrounding spring edge. And when the sun goes down, the magic begins to happen.
