These are NOT generic photos - you're looking at the actual rocks you will
receive when ordering! And all orders are mailed out within one business day at
no extra cost.! Also known as "scoria" or "cinder", they were hand-picked
directly from the Springerville Volcanic Field, near the White Mountains of
east-central Arizona.
Spokesmodel Woody says these are some pretty cool rocks! This grouping
includes 6 large, exotic black/red combination rocks, ranging from almost 5" -
over 6½" on their longest axis. They're uniquely-shaped and offer lots of
cracks, crevices and holes; they'd make an exceptional lava wall or mountain in
the right setting (individually or combined). You'll also see pockmarks of
different shapes and sizes.
Those pockmarks are scoria's most recognizable feature. When they were
expelled from volcanoes that were active here over a half million years ago,
hot gases were captured within the molten lava and trapped as it cooled,
leaving thousands of tiny "pores" within the rock itself.
They would be ideal for the following uses:
In aquariums. Set them out a bit from a corner to create a safe space for
smaller fish, or combine them with other rocks to create an underground scene.
Scoria lava rocks are extremely lightweight and reduce the risk of damaging
your tanks. They offer additional benefits ensuring the health of your
aquarium, too. IMPORTANT: These rocks are shipped in a natural state and need
to be prepared before introducing them into your aquarium.
Lava rocks can create a beautiful setting in your terrarium or bonsai tree
arrangements. Juxtapose these rocks to larger plants to create a visual offset,
for example. (Please see our other listings if you’re looking for something in
a different size or shape. Each listing is unique.)
We don't take you for granite at Arizona Lava Rocks! Our listings don't start
out in a pile in some yard! Each rock is individually gathered. They are picked
off the ground because something about them catches our eye. Again, this
listing is for the specific rocks you see in the accompanying photos. Our
inventory is constantly changing - please check out our other listings.
