Texas Holey Rock

Description: Listed is a beautiful South Texas Holey Rock with a nice shape for your aquarium life to enjoy. This is one of our larges specimens in our collection. Our rocks have been through a bleaching process and then have been put through a five day flush for the safety of your aquarium life. Our rocks are harvested by hand in the hill country region, just north of San Antonio, Texas. Approximate dimensions of pictured rock (#002106WT) are as follows: 18 lbs - 4oz/H-10.75"/L-12.75"/W-7.75" *Rocks may be whiter in color than pictured with lighting being manipulated for display purposes to show better depth and contrast* History/Location Customers have asked why we charge the prices we charge for these gorgeous and rare rocks! The question almost answers itself! Possibly some may think we just see a rock sitting on the ground and we just pick it up, spray it off with water, photograph it, and then just merely list it on line, and then charge a crazy amount of money for our find! This is so not true and there is a process from excavation, cleaning, inventorying, right down to retail sale that apply and make for a time consuming and labor intensive event for each specimen. We are talking about hours of processing and attention to detail! For true businesses, we don’t just put a rock in the driveway, photograph it and sell it, although you’ll see those images all over the internet!! It is a true artistic approach and process that takes place, and honestly we love every rock we find and sell. It almost hurts to see one of our rocks get placed in the mail to send off to a location thousands of miles away. Spreading our passion to others and to those who appreciate what we discover in the ground everyday on our property gives us a sense of gratification when we realize others will enjoy what we have worked hard for, and for what we appreciate so much about where we live. You’re getting a true piece of Texas when you buy from us! Process First of all, most people don’t realize that “Holey Rocks” or “Honeycomb Rocks” are not typical in nature across the US. There is a limited vein of these beautiful limestone rocks which occur naturally and are found from Tennessee, and then continues through Central Texas and then down to South Texas. In other words they are rare and only available in certain markets. Surprisingly, a lot of property owners have no idea what they may be sitting on. We’ve seen homeowners, not realizing the demand and value of these beautiful rocks, place awesome specimens in concrete as fence post decorations ruining their value! Processing To Market At South Texas Holey Rock, we quarry our rocks as found naturally on top of the ground on our property in the Texas Hill Country located 25 miles north of San Antonio. After discovery, our process includes numerous hours of eliminating dirt and debris, and then taking each rock through a bleaching and flushing treatment to bring the best visual and environmental outcome for our clients to get started after receiving shipment and right into their specific project. Shipping Another variable is the cost of shipping. Although these limestone rocks are porous in nature, they still weigh more than one would think which makes shipping costs expensive. There are companies in the aquarium industry who will make fake/plastic/silicone type holey rocks out of resin in an effort to cut down on shipping costs by cutting the weight of their product. Although their products look great in most cases, they lack the ph balance most desire for their aquarium, as well as authenticity and value. Most would personally pay a little bit more for the real thing than have a replica which may float to the surface if not weighed down properly! When considering your artistic and natural, as well as authentic aquarium needs, we hope you’ll keep South Texas Holey Rock as your one stop shop towards perfection in Holey Rock purposes!!
