Scoria

Scoria is a type of volcanic rock that forms from the solidification of molten lava. It is commonly found around and on the surface of active and dormant volcanoes. Scoria has distinctive characteristics that make it unique and recognizable among other types of volcanic rocks.

Scoria is an extrusive igneous rock, meaning it is formed from lava that has erupted from a volcano and cooled quickly on the Earth’s surface. It is often referred to as “lava rock” due to its origin from lava flows. Scoria is composed primarily of vesicles (small cavities) and solidified lava fragments. These vesicles are the result of gas bubbles escaping from the molten lava during its rapid cooling and solidification.

The porous nature of scoria makes it useful for drainage and filtration applications. It can be used as a drainage layer in many applications including terrariums, palladiums and vivarium's, to promote proper water drainage and prevent waterlogging.
