Description
Lifegard Burma Petrified Stone - 44 Lbs Box (Small Size)
Ancient Details: Rare Fossilized Accents
The Lifegard Burma Petrified Stone offers a more dramatic and darker aesthetic compared to other petrified wood varieties. This rare material consists of prehistoric wood that has mineralized into solid stone over millions of years. This 44 lb box of small-sized stones is specifically selected for intricate hardscaping, high-detail work, and nano-tanks.
Burma Petrified Stone is characterized by its deep, saturated tones—often featuring dark grays, charcoals, and rich wood browns. These small pieces allow you to capture the fine-grained bark textures and mineralized "rings" of ancient trees on a miniature scale. They are the perfect choice for aquascapers looking to create a "sunken forest" or a dark, moody riverbed environment.
Key Features:
-
Rare Fossilization: Sourced for its unique, dark mineral composition and exceptionally clear prehistoric wood-grain patterns.
-
Moody Color Palette: Saturated dark grays and deep browns provide a high-contrast backdrop for bright green plants like Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' or Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba'.
-
Micro-Detailing: Small stones are ideal for creating "rubble" zones, transitioning between large boulders and the foreground sand for a realistic look.
-
Dense and Heavy: Naturally mineralized wood ensures these stones stay in place and provide a solid foundation for your scape.
-
Multi-Environment Safe: Completely natural and inert; safe for freshwater aquariums, high-humidity vivariums, and reptile enclosures.
Aquascaping Applications:
-
Nano Displays: Perfect for 5-gallon cubes or desktop aquariums where every square inch of texture matters.
-
Dark Canyon Themes: Use these small stones to create "shadow" zones and narrow crevices between larger structural rocks.
-
Transition Zones: Scatter these around the base of larger "Burma" boulders to simulate the look of natural erosion over time.

Water Chemistry & Preparation: Burma Petrified Stone is largely inert and will not significantly alter your water’s pH or hardness. To ensure the highest water clarity from day one, we recommend a thorough rinse in a bucket of fresh water before adding them to your tank to remove any transit dust.
Setup Tip: Because of the dark tones of Burma Stone, using a light-colored cosmetic sand (like La Plata sand) in the foreground can create a stunning "pop" and emphasize the deep colors and textures of the rock.
Complete the Look: For a cohesive, large-scale layout, combine these detail pieces with the Lifegard Burma Petrified Stone Medium and Large 44 lb boxes.
