More information
Mineraland Scoria is a natural volcanic rock prized for its rich colour and porous, vesicular structure. It's a hard-working garden aggregate that improves drainage and aeration while looking great as a decorative top dressing available in striking black or red.
Formed from cooled basaltic lava, scoria is full of tiny air pockets that stay porous even after milling. Unlike pea or aquarium gravel, it actively aerates your mix rather than just filling space, and it's more durable and longer-lasting than pumice thanks to its larger, thicker-walled vesicles.
