Review: Natural Slate Stone – 5lbs for Miniature Gardens, Aquariums, and More
Small World Slate & Stone offers a fantastic product with their Natural Slate Stone. As a family-owned business in the USA, they take pride in sourcing, washing, hand-picking, and packaging these beautiful stones. Whether you’re looking to enhance your miniature garden, aquarium, or reptile enclosure, these slate stones are a perfect choice.
One of the standout features of these stones is their versatility. In aquariums and reptile enclosures, they can be used to create caves, cliffs, basking areas, berms, waterfalls, and walls. They easily blend with other stones and gravel to give a more realistic look to your tank. The deep grey color of the slate is particularly stunning in a planted tank. Additionally, these stones can be attached to driftwood or aquatic plants to prevent them from floating.
For reptile enclosures, these stones serve as excellent basking and climbing surfaces, as well as feeding stations. They can be used to create waterfalls, berms, and walls in terrariums, paludariums, and vivariums. The stones also naturally hold heat well, providing a comfortable environment for your reptiles.
The natural beauty of these slate stones is another highlight. The deep grey matte color with a hint of blue is truly eye-catching, especially when wet. While there may be some white quartz veining or surface discoloration due to the natural characteristics of the stone, these variations only add to the uniqueness and interest of the stones.
It’s important to note that thorough rinsing is recommended before placing the stones in your habitat. However, there are absolutely no coatings on these stones or any other products from Small World Slate & Stone. The slate is inert and aquarium safe. Some quartz veining on the stone may contain a small amount of carbonate minerals, which can raise/buffer pH levels.
In terms of product details, the Natural Slate Stone comes in a 5lb box, with stones ranging from 3 to 5 inches in size. The dimensions of the packaging are 8.4 x 4.4 x 4.3 inches, and the item model number is ABCD. The product was first available on April 25, 2017, and it is manufactured by Small World Slate & Stone.
In conclusion, the Natural Slate Stone from Small World Slate & Stone is a top-notch product for miniature gardens, aquariums, and reptile enclosures.
