Lifegard Burma Petrified Stone - 44 Lbs Box (Medium Size)
Ancient Foundations: The Dark Focal Point
The Lifegard Burma Petrified Stone brings a sense of ancient history and moody sophistication to any aquatic environment. This rare, fossilized wood has transformed into dense stone over millions of years, resulting in a unique hardscape material that retains the stunning textures of prehistoric bark and timber. This 44 lb box of medium stones is the perfect choice for establishing the primary structural layout of your aquarium or terrarium.
Distinguished by its deep, saturated color palette, Burma Petrified Stone features shades of dark charcoal, slate gray, and rich ebony browns. These medium-sized pieces are ideal for 20- to 40-gallon tanks, offering enough presence and verticality to serve as a centerpiece while showcasing the intricate "rings" and grain patterns that only fossilized wood can provide.

Preparation & Use: As a naturally mineralized material, Burma Petrified Stone is dense and stays securely in place. It is largely inert and will have a minimal impact on your water parameters. We recommend rinsing each stone thoroughly with fresh water before use to remove any surface dust or debris from shipping.
Setup Tip: To emphasize the "ancient" look of Burma Stone, try "planting" mosses like Java Moss or Christmas Moss directly into the crevices and grain of the rock. This mimics the look of a forest floor reclaimed by time.
