Slate Quarry Stones

[Boromir]

I work in an area where there were slate quarries, as they have closed down they have left behind various sized bits of rock perfect for fish tanks and ponds features. As I say I work on this land and have permission from landowner to take these.

So Im just wondering if anyone would be interested if I collected the best ones for fish tanks and requested sized ones. Ill take pics of the ones I've got for my fish tank soon to give you an idea of the quality of the rocks I can get hold of. I will wash the muck and that off but you will have to boil them clean yourself. I have no idea how much the postage will be at this time and I will sell at a decent price or maybe exchange for some shrimp when my tank is ready.

Please reply via this thread if interested do not pm.

Thankyou.

Topic moved from marine classifieds to general classifieds>equipment since it is not marine-specific.

I'd love to see some pictures.
is it green or blue?
I hail from Keswick, Cumbria, there is some fantastic slate up there.
lots of disused quarries too.

Sorry for the wait this is a side view of the rocks/slate for my tank Im going to take a picture of the place from where Im getting them from tomorrow as theres thousands of them. I will probably ask for just postage costs for the first couple of requests as I would like to know if you think there any good.

I'd be interested in some of that, although i fear the postage might be quite high down to London... Are you able to give some idea of likely costs for postage? e.g. how much would the lot you have pictured cost?
