Mid Valley Rock sells it by weight at the Sacramento yard, and you can call (916) 363-4239 to confirm what is available. Zebra Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard. Zebra is hard to miss. Black granite forms the body of the boulder, and bands of white marble swirl through it. The pattern is bold and graphic, with no two boulders alike. It is a natural choice for modern landscapes, and it adds a sharp accent to traditional ones. ## Black granite, white marble The contrast is what sets Zebra apart. The white bands curve and swirl across the black, so the boulder changes as you walk around it. Look at every side before you choose. One face may show wide bands, another thin ones. Pick the face that suits the view from your window or patio. ## Designing with a high-contrast boulder A strong pattern needs a simple setting. Zebra stands out on a bed of plain gravel or pebbles, among grasses, or beside clean-lined paving. Black and white also goes with any color scheme. One boulder near an entry or a water feature can serve as garden sculpture. If it will sit in water, let staff know so they can advise. ## Buying Zebra boulders As with all [boulders](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/boulders/) at the yard, Zebra is weighed at purchase.
