FAQs

What is the primary composition of Dragon Stones?

Dragon Stones are primarily composed of calcite, aragonite, and grey limestone. However, they can also contain other minerals such as hematite, flint, jasper, dolomite, and pyrite.

What does the name 'Dragon Stone' refer to?

The name is inspired by a Malagasy legend about ancient dragons whose remains transformed into stone and eventually became these unique gemstones.

Are these stones suitable for aquariums?

While visually appealing, it's advisable to research the specific mineral composition before introducing any stones into an aquarium to ensure they do not alter water parameters (e.g., pH). Generally, calcite-based stones can increase pH.

Will my stones look exactly like the pictures?

Due to the natural and variable composition of Dragon Stones, each stone is unique. Expect variations in color, pattern, and exact size within the 'small' range.

Are these stones safe to handle?

Yes, Dragon Stones are natural minerals and safe to handle. Their tumbled finish makes them smooth and pleasant to touch.

Troubleshooting

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dust, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Dragon Stones require minimal setup. As natural geological specimens, they are inherently compatible with most environments. For care, it is recommended to gently clean the stones periodically. A soft, dry cloth can be used to remove dust. For a more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be employed, followed by immediate drying with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which could potentially affect their color over extended periods. Store them in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperature fluctuations.
