Possible Stromatolite


Recommended Posts

I went to the aquatics shop this morning to buy some fish food. 
They were selling these rocks as decor. 
Person helping me had no idea re provenance. 
I think they are geologic in origin. But with the banding was thinking there is an outside chance they could be Stromatolites 

About hand size.

This is called Rainbow Stone, it is found commonly in Utah and Arizona. It is geologic in origin and highly prized for landscaping and aquarium use.

Thanks for the confirmation 

I did suspect it wasn’t a Strom
