Spokesmodel Woody says this listing is especially for those who are
outfitting a smaller landscape. It includes 6 black / dark gray rocks, ranging
from roughly 1"- 1½" across their longest axis and illustrating different types
of pockmarking along their surfaces. Also known as "scoria" or "cinder", they
were hand-picked directly from the Springerville Volcanic Field, near the White
Mountains of east-central Arizona.
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.)
Note: The lighter in the photo is for size illustration purposes and not
included with listing. These rocks have already been "lit" on fire, albeit a
half-million years ago ... no need to go through the process again!
