Its warm color stands out in the Mid Valley Rock yard; call to see which pieces are in stock. Lava: Golden Lace Lava Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard. Golden Lace Lava has the same lacy, pocketed shape as other lace lavas, but in a warm yellow-gold. Erosion carved it into a web of holes and small cups over time. That color makes it a bright accent in shady spots and a warm partner for green moss, ferns and small trees. Bonsai growers like its natural pots, and pond builders like how water moves through it. ## Color and shape The yellow-gold tone sets this lava apart from the darker lavas in the yard. It glows against dark mulch and deep green plants. Like the other lavas in the yard, it formed from cooled volcanic rock (see [Black Lichen Lava](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/lava-black-lichen-lava/)). This one was further potted by erosion, giving it its lace pattern. ## Uses in the garden Plant a bonsai or small succulent in one of its pockets for a living sculpture. Group several pieces in a dry garden for a desert look. In a pond or fountain, water spilling across the gold surface darkens it and shows off the texture. See our [water feature ideas](https://midvalleyrock.com/ideas/water-features/). Ask what sizes are in the yard today. Mix a few sizes of the same stone for a natural grouping. ## Picking a good piece Walk the pallets and look for a piece whose shape suits the spot. A wide base sits steadily; a tall piece works as a focal point. Tell staff if it will be in water. Like all rock at the yard, it is priced by weight; get a quote by phone or in person. ## Popular uses - Bonsai planting stones - Pond and fountain accents - Succulent displays - Bright focal rocks in shade - Dry garden groupings ### Is it in the yard today?
