Volcanic Rock 200-250mm refers to large pieces of naturally occurring volcanic rock that have been sized between 200mm and 250mm in diameter. These rocks are typically dark, porous, and rough-textured, with a mix of black, brown, or dark red shades. They are formed from the cooling and solidification of lava, making them lightweight yet durable.
