Small World Slate and Stone First Impressions

"HIGHLY recommended."

It's simple slate rock but it's natural and really great for my box turtle terrarium. It's not difficult but you need rinse over and over to get the water clear. I've bought quite a few packs to get the volume I needed. Hope this helps anyone that was wondering how we got our rocks so dark. But it was definitely not what I expected. Would definitely love to repurchase this item. 2 small rocks and 4 medium ones and one large stone.

Small World Slate and Stone Final Thoughts

"Would recommend!"

They arrived in tact and were all the size described. Hope this helps anyone that was wondering how we got our rocks so dark. It's not difficult but you need rinse over and over to get the water clear. They are making these by sloshing resin around in a mold, so it's really thin. I wanted a large stone to stand out from the rest. You should never buy rocks but there's no Dragon stone down by the river. I switched up my plans a bit and everything was lovely.

"I love theses."

Absolutely perfect for use in my 20 gallon aquarium. And I had some left over rock, mostly because I use a lot of driftwood and plants. The rocks were REALLY dusty, covers with a lot of clay. Stones were perfect for my 5 gallon planted tank. Will most likely buy more in the future. Got this for my betta fish, he LOVES it. It was plenty for the tank I wanted to scape.

Rosewood 911015 Final Thoughts

"Great assortment."

Com is the only place I trust for my tanks. The colors of the rocks are beautiful. Originally I set up a waterfall with them, but decided to fill the tank all the way. Since it's 17lbs obviously you're going to get mostly small rocks. It's simple slate rock but it's natural and really great for my box turtle terrarium. They get tossed around in shipping and chunks break off. I'm pretty happy with the rock I received.

COYMOS Final Thoughts

"Love the rocks."

These broken bits are perfect for little details and filling gaps. I got a nice large piece that was about six or eight inches wide. I also placed one or two inside her bathing dish to help her climb in and out better. And placed in a 36 gallon bowfront. Every living thing in both tanks are healthy and as far as I can tell happy. Recieved 8 pieces of stone in my order with minimal chipping. Trying shipping this much heavy stone.

The edges of holes are also sharp, but easy enough to smooth with a razor knife. I was expecting this to be a thicker resin piece. Honestly it's a good idea to have some glue on hand anyways. No I dont work for them and no I dont get anything for saying that. It's simple slate rock but it's natural and really great for my box turtle terrarium. Different shapes and sizes to work with. It took me all day to get them at least somewhat cleaned off.

ISUMER Final Thoughts

"They like it so much."

I really hope they upload the other 3 pictures. I'm always hesitant to buy it online, but this was a good transaction. Just hit the add to cart and wait until you get the dust off and see them wet. They are making these by sloshing resin around in a mold, so it's really thin. Cleaned the dust and clay residue off under running water and some brushing. Dragon stone has a nice reddish tone to it so it really stands out. Since it's 17lbs obviously you're going to get mostly small rocks.

"Beautiful pieces!"

There aren't any large enough to fully cover an entire base however. Got this for my betta fish, he LOVES it. The holed rock formation is a nice design, but the material being is way too thin. But it was definitely not what I expected. It took about a hour to clean the rocks off. I got this for my 10 gal and it fits beautifully! They arrived in tact and were all the size described.

"So far so good."

You definitely get a lot of slate for the price. Hope this helps anyone that was wondering how we got our rocks so dark. I will not be able to get all 7 rocks in my Bio Orb 8 gallon tank. If you are thinking about buying these, DO IT. I was very pleasantly surprised with these dragon stones. Waiting in my second bag as I'm typing this. And I had some left over rock, mostly because I use a lot of driftwood and plants.
