100% natural stone that is safe for your aquarium and has been sourced, hand split, tumbled, washed, and packaged by our family owned business in the USA. The color is a gorgeous deep grey (considered black) and has a slight silvery luster of mica that is a real show stopper! Each box has 7 to 9 stones and is a mix of sizes from 5 to 7 inches (some stones may be slightly above or below this range).
AQUARIUMS – Ideal for aquascaping planted, fresh or saltwater aquariums, paludariums, and various tank styles like biotope, Iwagumi, Dutch, nano, and betta tanks. The silvery-black luster of this stone enhances the plants and tank inhabitants. Create cliffs, caves, mountains, berms, and walls. Lay flat, stand on end, or angle with support. Use with our larger pieces, smaller stones, and aquarium gravel for a realistic scene. Attach to larger driftwood to prevent floating.
REPTILE ENCLOSURES – Perfect in terrariums, vivariums and other pet enclosures. These stones naturally hold heat for reptiles or other heat loving pets. They can be glued together to create caves, cliffs, berms, walls or used for small to medium sized reptiles/pets as climbing, basking stones or feeding stations. Use aquarium safe glue or epoxy to secure all your creations for the safety of your inhabitants. Use with our larger and smaller stone for a realistic scene.
Thoroughly rinse all stones before gluing or placing in your habitat. There are absolutely no coatings on this or any of our stone.
Because this is a natural stone, there may be some white quartz veining or brown/orange surface discoloration. These beautiful variations add a natural uniqueness and interest to the stones.

Perfect for what I need
I bought the 10lbs size and got 9 pieces, all ranging from 5-7in long as described. Most of the ones I got are nice and flat, which will be perfect for my leopard geckos. They arrived packaged very well, with minimal damage, just a little dusty which was easy to rinse off.The slate is beautiful, and I’m so excited to use it!

Beardie Approved
Best thing I bought. Each rock is its own size and shape, you gotta play with them a bit to get them how you want. Beardie approved ðð¼

I wish it was more consistant
They look good and I am generally happy with them. My only issue is in the variance in thickness. Some are more slender than others which kinda ruined my plans for my aquascape because I was hoping more mostly thinner pieces. In the end I got it looking nice but I would have preferred if they could keep the thickness uniform.

Unique and Beautiful Stones
These are real slate, and 99.99% pure slate. Jet black color with virtually no marbling. I bought all three sizes and am VERY pleased with all. Washing is recommended but scrubbing is not really necessary. They look really beautiful in a freshwater fish aquarium. The shapes are varied as expected, but perfect and natural. Unless you have unlimited time to search for less expensive sources and options, these are worth the expense.

Man muss Glück haben das es beim Transport nicht komplett kaputt geht.

Ordered the 5-7â rocks and one out of them all was 5â roughly.. the rest were in the 3-4â and yeah they are nice flat rocks but for the price.. they are just rocks.. no crazy cool patterns or designs just boring flat small rocks. Probably wouldnât buy again as it was a gamble based on reviews and I didnât feel like size was worth the price.
