A dramatic cascade of porous volcanic chips and thin slivers brings the mood of weathered lava fields into your scape. Use Dark Lava Chips to blend stones into the terrain, stabilize slopes, and trace believable paths that shift with light and flow. Their lightweight, irregular texture adds depth and contrast while preserving a coherent, detail-rich look, without hunting for dozens of loose fragments.
Color: Dark grey to black.

Grain/Gravel/Size: 0.3–50 mm (chips, thin slices, mini gravel).

Texture: Porous, lightweight, rugged; authentic “stone slide” look.

Composition: Natural lava (volcanic scoria).

Matching: Complements dark lava stones as Black Darwin and Druid boulders.

Results: Seamless transitions, filled joints, believable paths, and nano-scale detail.

Ready to Use: Pre-washed; quick rinse recommended to remove residual dust and saturate pores.

Water Chemistry: Inert, does not affect pH or kH.

Why choose this: Choose Dark Lava Chips to add deep, volcanic character and porous micro-texture while keeping water parameters stable.
Preparation: Rinse briefly and soak a few minutes to expel trapped air and reduce initial dust (never use soap/detergent).

Select: Match chip size and tone to your main stones for a coherent palette.

Place: Emulate natural patterns; cluster larger chips at stone bases and trail fine slices downslope.

Fine-tune: Step back and adjust density and flow lines until transitions disappear.

Maintain: Gently brush away algae/debris and re-seat chips as the scape matures.
