Obsidian Shard Stone

Obsidian Shard Stone Obsidian Shard Stone is an incredible addition to any aquascape revealing subtle sparkles and intricate textures that offer a deep contrast against green planting, and a finish that looks almost wet even out of the water. When submerged the rich colour intensifies, highlighting every edge, curve, and natural fracture. Bold, dramatic, and truly one of a kind, Obsidian Shard brings a stunning volcanic character and feel. A note on the name: this is not true volcanic obsidian. Obsidian Shard is our name for this stone because of its glassy black look and shard like fracture. It is a natural aquascaping stone selected for its colour and form. Usage instructions Rinse thoroughly under running water before adding to the aquarium Use the sharpest, tallest pieces as focal stones and break up the outline with smaller shards Excellent for dark, moody layouts, iwagumi variations and high contrast nature scapes Pairs well with bright green carpets, red stem plants and light coloured sand Recommendations and precautions Some edges can be sharp; handle with care and position away from areas where delicate finned or bottom dwelling fish rest Test water parameters after adding, as with any new hardscape Natural material, so shape, size and finish vary between pieces ⚠️ A note on this natural product Every stone is one of a kind. Because this is a natural material, its size, shape, texture, colour and mineral markings — and, where sold by weight, the number of pieces you receive — will vary, so the photos are a guide rather than the exact item you'll get. Natural pitting, holes and lighter mineral veining are part of the rock's character, not faults. We can't guarantee a set mix of small, medium or large pieces unless it's arranged with us before purchase. Want a particular size or shape? Message us before ordering and we'll do our best to hand-pick pieces to suit your scape.
