One Large, Red Lava Rock – Perfect for Terrariums, Aquariums, Succulents

Description: These are NOT generic photos - you're looking at the actual rock you will receive when ordering! And all orders are mailed out within one business day, cost included! As you can see in the photos, it's primarily red / reddish-brown, measures roughly 6" across its base and stands almost 8" tall. You'll see quite a few cracks, crevices, and holes along its craggy surface; you'll also find pockmarks in a variety of shapes and sizes. Also known as "scoria" or "cinder", it was hand-picked directly from the Springerville Volcanic Field, near the White Mountains of east-central Arizona. Those pockmarks are one of the most recognizable features of scoria. When these rocks were expelled from the volcanoes that were active here between 300,000-1.5 million years ago, hot gases were captured within the molten rock. As it cooled, the gas was trapped, leaving thousands of tiny "pores" within the rock itself. The red color resulted from its iron oxidizing during eruption. Spokesmodel Woody says this rock would be perfect for: • In aquariums. Set it out a bit from a corner to create a safe space for smaller fish, or combine it 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: This rock is shipped in a natural state and needs to be prepared before introducing it into your aquarium. • Lava rocks can create a beautiful setting in your terrarium or bonsai tree arrangements. Juxtapose this rock 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.) • Lava rocks are an ideal base for planting small succulents. Its pores offer natural benefits that help certain varieties of succulents to even thrive compared to other planting methods. They allow air to pass to their shallow roots, while retaining moisture as water easily drains. Their native roughness offers a place for plants to grab hold and take root, too.
