Dragon Stone, also known as Ohko Stone, is one of the most iconic pieces of natural rock in the hobby. Named for its incredible scale-like texture, these natural details and crevices give your hardscape an aged, ancient look that simply cannot be duplicated with artificial decorations. Dragon Stone displays a beautiful array of earthy colors ranging from reds and yellows to deep browns. Its unique clay-like composition makes it relatively brittle compared to other stones, which allows aquatic plants and mosses to easily self-attach to its craggy surface. This natural stone is also suitable for non-aquarium use and will work beautifully as a dramatic accent in terrariums, paludariums, or similar planted enclosures.
Pieces from packages will range from 3-10". Be advised that requests for pieces 8" or larger require a minimum purchase of 10 pounds.
Notes:Â
- Dragon Stone is inert and will not influence water parameters.
- We recommend rinsing stones thoroughly before use to remove any natural dust or sediment.
- Stone coloration darkens when wet.
- Dragon Stone can be easily broken into smaller pieces with a chisel and hammer.

Q&A
- Is it possible to customize? I am setting up a 10g PFR tank for the husband. I have a great piece of spider wood and I want to add some pieces of dragonstone around it. But it’s not a big tank, so maybe a couple mediums and a bunch of smalls?

- Can it be cut with a grinder to give a flat surface to stand up?
- Hi Patrizia, Thank you for reaching out to us! Yes, dragon stone can be cut using a grinder to create a flat surface. The stone is relatively much easier to manipulate when compare to other stone, due to its clay and porous makeup.
