Yeah, you read that right. In my search for things like Turface MVP, scoria, diatamaceous earth, Dry Stall pumice, full strand sphagnum moss, pine bark, and of course crushed granite, I found this stuff. It's my new favorite. The green seemed silly at first, but I kept thinking about it. I keep thinking about it like I think of that cute girl across the hall... I couldn't stop thinking about it! I just had to have it! What can I say? I'm in love with green crushed granite ~ 3/8 inch, baby.
For real though, this stuff is great. Nobody else in town is gonna have this sweet green crushed granite in their bonsai pot. It really is 3/8 inch, so it's an angel's hair bigger than I prefer. I can potentially sift out some 1/4 - 5-16" for a smaller tree, or crush it a little more for something a bit finer. I think I will pot up my Grey Owl Juniper with this, black scoria and some larger pine bark.
The product you receive looks exactly like the picture. There is an overall Baja Blast greenness to this granite, but there's definitely more going on than green, if you care for the detailed side of my review. Included also are some nice iron oxide/burnt sienna, oxblood/bone marrow, bone whites/bone greys, and hints of tan on some of the greens.
Thanks for the free shipping Southwest Boulder. I live half a continent away, and I just can't get rock like this around here. I'll be back for more!
7/28/19 Update: About 50% passes through a 1/4" screen, and 0% through a 2mm screen, which is a good thing for me. I get 10lbs of 3-6mm rock, and 10lbs of 7-10mm!

Not uniform in color or size, full of dust!
I got this rock for a decorative pebble tray to put my small pots of succulents on top -- the tray was a wood tone, so I thought that the Sedona red color would be nice. However, that's not really what this is -- the stone is a mix of brown, gray, black, and white stone covered with a mess of red dust. Beyond that, there are substantial pieces mixed with very small ones, and I ended up having to sort them out for my purposes (while sending cups of stone dust down my outdoor drain).This might be quite pretty as an outdoor bed finish --- it has a bit of a wood chip look. But it's totally not what I was expecting from the listing!The first picture shows the mess of stone and dust in the opened bag; the second shows how the washed and dried stones compare to the color of those in the bag (and what I thought I was getting); and the third shows the complete non-uniformity of sizes (of wet rocks), which vary by 3-4x! Maybe some of this was an outcome of grinding together during shipping, but it's hard to see how any of these look like any of the listing shots!

Ended up finding this cheaper locally so returned the bag i ordered on amazon, but it’s a great product that I’m still happy enough to take the time to review
Used these rocks as a top dressing for my 3’ x 5’ succulent tapestry garden project. I ordered this in 3/8” in the 20lbs Cali gold- what i bought locally was the same but a 75lbs bag- which i used about half of to cover most of the space pictured at about 1” depth. Rocks were fairly uniform in size, and there didn’t seem to be much dust in the bag. I’m so happy with the soft gold color and size. The other rock used in my photos is the 3/8” Patagonia which is also lovely. These 20lbs bags would be great for a smaller project and i absolutely recommend these- a great, quality product

The rocks look good, but not quite the 20 lbs I paid for. Definitely better value to be had elsewhere.
