Maple Leaf Stone is named for its unique patterns that resemble the delicate veins of a leaf. Formed from ancient riverbeds in China, it has a smooth, weathered appearance with earthy tones that make it ideal for river-inspired layouts, dynamic valley scapes, and natural aquascapes. Its distinctive texture adds both beauty and realism to aquarium designs.
