Natural Slate Stones 8 to 10 Inches - USA Sourced and Packaged for Aquascaping Aquariums, Terrariums, Paludariums, Reptile Enclosures, and Gardens (16-18 lbs)

I did not have high expectations for this. Only because I’ve purchased stone and wood off Amazon for my bearded dragon enclosure in the past only to be left disappointed. However, this product is absolutely amazing. I did receive a couple pieces that were smaller than 8 inches, however, the quality and quantity of the slate stones made up for it. I received 6 stones, two were around 7 inches in length, one was 11 inches, and the other 3 were as describe (8-10 inches). If you’re looking for the perfect stones to create a realistic basking area for your reptile to allow a variation of basking temps, this is it. The stones hold the perfect temp range 95-105 degrees Fahrenheit with my lighting setup.

The media could not be loaded. LOVE this rocks they are perfect for my bird bath. I bought a 14inch garden tray saucer, used reptile tank size green leaf plant (on side).I ordered a regular water pump on Amazon and it was WAYY to big. My bird bath wasn’t shallow enough for it I used my cats water fountain pump and it was perfect size! Can’t wait to see my lil birdie friends use it!!! 🥰

If you think this is what you are looking for, then it is. They came very safely shipped, very clean, and smooth- not sanded but only like 2 tiny sharp areas I'll file down. They are sturdy and just literally perfect for my design.

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.

I stacked these to use as a basking area for different temps for my uromastyx. It works great and he loves to hide under them as well. They clean up well and are a perfect addition to his enclosure.

They were exactly as described

I’m very happy with my purchase. The rocks came in a box within a box, wrapped up in plastic, and padded with packing peanuts. I got 6 large pieces, and used 5 in my 29 gallon tank. The other one I’m gonna repurpose for something else.I have a betta fish, Micah, so I used an electric nail file I got on Amazon (Saviland Electric Nail Drill - Electric Nail File Efile Nail Drill Professional Manicure with 6PCS Nail Drill Bits & 51Pcs Sanding Bands for Acrylic Nail Pedicure Tools Home Salon Use - A-pink) to painstakingly file down every edge and sharp piece off of every rock. This took me 2.5 episodes of Survivor Man (free on YouTube) to do. So about an hour and forty minutes. I then scrubbed each rock with a new toothbrush under running water. That took care of all the dust and debris.I stood three rocks up in the sand towards the back of my tank and they have stayed in place without wobbling or shifting thankfully. The other two rocks are laying down and used for plants. On one I glued down windelov java ferns with aquarium safe glue and the other I covered in pebbles/gravel with root tabs to plant amazon swords.So far so good with everything though it’s only been 2 days. If anything changes I will update my review.I’ve included pictures of: the slate set up in my 29 gallon tank (I have other things to add for Micah, don’t worry), the slate piece I left out, and most importantly, two pictures of my betta because he’s so handsome and I love him more than anything in the world ❤️.Lastly, make sure to stream Barbie World by Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj and get ready for Pink Friday 2 on November 17th 2023 🦄🛸🎀.

Couple of the reviews had me worried - but it was perfect. Good size pieces, quickly shipped, packaged nicely. Im going to leave the same review on all of the sizes. I bought 3-5, 5-7 and 8-10. All 3 sizes were very distinct. Good shapes. Not lot of "flat machine cuts". overall very happy. unfortunately, 10-12lbs only gets you so far so you'll have to get a few shipments! Cheaper than LFS, and honestly better selection which was the real deal breaker for me!
