Lava/Volcanic Rock - Procedural Material

I fancied having a go at a lava material and really liked the unusual ripple shapes that are formed when the lava starts to cool and solidify, so have tried to capture this effect as best as I can. I kept the parameters super clean and simple on this one, only including 2: an "age" slider that blends between hot multen lava and cooled volcanic rock, and a "flow" slider for offsetting the rippling effect. I had some fun with it! Any feedback is welcome.
