Ancient Stone is a harder natural rock featuring a darker color palette with varying brown and rust tones. Comparable in both color and character to Manten Stone, it offers the sharp, angular shapes needed to recreate a mountain-style or Iwagumi layout. Its rugged profile makes it an ideal foundation to support your favorite driftwood pieces in a complex hardscape. Ancient Stone is also suitable for non-aquarium use and will work beautifully as a weathered accent in terrariums, paludariums, or similar planted enclosures to achieve an aged, mountainous aesthetic.

Stones vary in shape, size, and density.

Notes:

  • If you are looking for larger stones, a minimum weight may be required. Larger stones = higher weight. Email our team if you need assistance.
  • On average, pieces will range from 3-10 inches.
  • This is a natural product and has the potential to alter water parameters slightly.
  • We recommend rinsing stones thoroughly before use to remove any natural dust or sediment.

The mad scientist, “it’s alive!”

"Just starting this hobby. Good size stones for a 3-5 gallon aquarium. Just plants and stone for a small size aquarium. Wanted to see if I can set up a living aquarium of aquarium plants."

Rocks

"Great color, sizes were good for my aquarium and enough stones to place with plants."

Connie R. (5/5)

Very nice rocks for forming crags and crevasses.

"I really like these rocks and have ordered 2 of their 30 lb options. You get a nice mix of sizes, and from what I have researched, these dont leech much into the water. The color is very subdued, which is what I was after, the general dull grey/blue highlighted with an orange rust color. Very nice stones, though I do wish they had a XXXL option of these should one wish to have just one central piece."

Q&A

So what is "ancient stone"? It kind of looks like sandrock? I'm trying to figure out what it would do to my water chemistry but there doesn't seem to be any info out there on what it's made of. Thanks!
Hi Amanda, Thank you for your question! The Ancient Stone is natural stone and therefore composed of natural materials, which are specifically unknown. If you are concerned about the affect on your water chemistry, we suggesting opting for hardscape that is inert. We hope this helps! Best regards, Team Buce Plant
