    Thats a good price. They usually go for about R50 per kg!. Theres other rocks that looks just as nice theres a few kandscaping places in your area with alot of different rocks all shapes and sizes

    maybe i should shop around and see. i found very nice magalies rock, but the sizes were too big. i couldnt get smaller pieces and its quiet cheap. but i will go around and have a look before i go for dragon rock. i need to cut down a bit this tank is costing me an arm and a leg. im looking to do a moutain going to to sea landscape.. trying my hand at under water waterfall... see how it goes.

    @Ryno - @Ammar is quite right. When you break that rock you will probably land up with a face that is very solid (ie no holes) and flat. The holes in the rock appear to be mostly on the outside face.
