CJGQ Black River Pebbles 0.5"–1" 18 lb — Polished Natural Stones for Plants & Aquariums, Wax-Finished

CJGQ Black Pebbles are polished natural river stones (0.5"–1", 18 lb) designed for plant pots, aquariums, terrariums, and decorative landscaping.

These smooth, dark river rocks bring a clean, modern look to indoor and outdoor displays while serving as a long-lasting, non-toxic substrate. Each batch is hand-polished and finished with a paraffin wax coat to deepen the black color and add subtle shine without introducing harmful chemicals. Because they are natural stones, pebble shapes vary—rounded, oval, or slightly irregular—which creates a rustic, organic appearance ideal for minimalist design or layered planter arrangements.

How will these pebbles change the appearance of my plant pots?

Adding CJGQ black pebbles gives planters a refined, low-maintenance top layer that highlights foliage and contrasts lighter soils. The dark finish makes greens pop and helps conceal soil between waterings. Their polished surface reflects light softly, adding dimension without overpowering the plant.

• Creates a clean, modern contrast with green leaves
• Polished finish adds subtle shine for visual depth
• Natural color hides damp soil and mineral residue

Are these pebbles suitable for aquariums and terrariums?

Yes — the stones are non-toxic river rock suitable for freshwater aquariums and planted terrariums. Their rounded edges reduce risk of damage to fish and roots, and the wax finish enhances color without flaking under normal conditions. For aquariums, rinse thoroughly before use to remove any loose dust.

• Non-toxic river rock safe for most freshwater setups
• Rounded shapes minimize harm to fish and plant roots
• Rinse before adding to tanks to remove surface dust

What are the size, weight, and surface details of these stones?

Each pebble measures approximately 0.5" to 1" in length, giving a uniform yet natural look across planters and displays. The package contains 18 pounds of stones — enough to top several small to medium pots or provide a shallow layer across an aquarium bottom. A light paraffin wax polish deepens the black hue and creates a smooth touch.

• Size range: about 0.5"–1" per stone
• Weight: 18 pounds per bag
• Polished and paraffin-waxed finish for enhanced color and smoothness

How do I use and maintain these pebbles for best results?

Placement is straightforward: rinse, spread, and arrange. For potted plants, apply a thin layer atop soil to reduce evaporation and improve presentation. In aquariums, wash the stones and distribute evenly; occasional vacuuming will keep them clean. Avoid abrasive cleaning that could remove the wax finish.

• Rinse before first use to remove loose dust
• Use a shallow layer to decorate pots or a fuller layer for aquarium substrate
• Clean gently with water; avoid harsh scrubbing to preserve finish

Who is this for: CJGQ Black Pebbles are ideal for plant lovers, aquarium hobbyists, floral designers, and DIY decorators who want a durable, natural-looking accent with low upkeep. They suit anyone creating modern indoor displays, succulent and bonsai arrangements, vase fillers, or small-scale landscape features that benefit from a polished, consistent black finish.
