Mid Valley Rock carries it as a decorative specialty stone in Sacramento; call (916) 363-4239 to ask what is in the yard today. Candy Glass Colors vary. See it in the yard. Candy Glass surprises people. It looks like glass, in chunks of color, yet it is a natural silica formation. That makes it a specialty piece, the kind of stone you add for a spot of color and a second look. A little goes a long way, so most people pick it out by hand, piece by piece. ## A natural stone that looks like glass The appeal of Candy Glass is in its surface and color. Each chunk is different, so it is worth seeing in person. Look at it in sun and in shade, since light changes how the pieces read. Because the pieces vary, bring a photo of the spot where they will go. Anna and the staff can help you choose pieces that suit the setting. ## Ways to use a decorative accent Decorative stone works best where people slow down: beside a front walk, at the edge of a patio, in a container garden or next to a bench. A few pieces set among plain gravel or pebbles give the eye somewhere to land. You can mix different stones in one yard. Our note on [mixing stone types](https://midvalleyrock.com/rock-talk/mixing-stone-types/) covers how to keep a mix looking planned. ## Buying Candy Glass Stone at the yard is sold by weight, and quotes are given by phone or in person.
