NEED HELP!!! ID Rocks please.

**Neondagger** · 19th Jan 2012, 00:40

I bought ADA Kurokinryu rocks and Seiryu rocks.

Anyone had experiences buying those rocks? Do they have a brown tint that looks like harden mud on it?

This are the rocks I use metal brush to scrub it, Boil it, Bleach it and still it remains.

I took 1 rock. Brought it outside my house. Hammer it and see what in. The brown tint actually run all the way in the rock. For I guess It's almost impossible to get rid of it unless you got a super high pressure spray or something.

Neondagger, they are not Ada rocks for sure. As per pm, you can reach me at my number. It's time for you to complain to mizuworld.

**Shadow** · 19th Jan 2012, 08:34

One of the reason I don't like to buy rocks or wood from online shop. You don't know what you will get

. The picture show at online shop is an indicative only. Nevertheless it does not look like the indicative picture at mizuworld website.

Since it is also inside after you break it, my guess those brown thing is part of the rocks. Normally you see white vein running through the rocks, for this case brown vein. Probably different mineral composition.

By the way, I don't think (might be wrong) ADA selling rocks nor woods. It is just the shop that naming it that way

I agree that online store got limitation to what you be getting and what you see online. But this is totally unacceptable. It's more like buying a Ferrari online and came as a cherry QQ. This mizuworld state so much about their quality and services. But what I got was a bunch of crappy rocks. They might as well install a rock jackpot machine in their website. I email them and request at least a exchange. I still waiting for reply. They sell so expensive yet the quality still low. It's unacceptable

**Neondagger** · 19th Jan 2012, 13:49

I sent 3 email to mizuworld for the last 13hrs and yet to get a reply. I already request for a refund on paypal. I got a feeling, he is ignoring me cause the last time he replied through his iphone and that means he has email access everywhere but I will give him the benefit of doubt that he have not read the email. This is so irresponsible. OMG. Faint....

**Neondagger** · 19th Jan 2012, 15:05

Ok the company replied me email. Thank god. They will collect the rocks next week and refund my money. End of story.
BUT START OF A NEW STORY. WHERE TO FIND ROCKS.

**sateman** · 19th Jan 2012, 15:14

Admire your determination. At least now we know that Mizuworld is reliable. Kudos to their customer service!!

**Neondagger** · 19th Jan 2012, 15:21

Service ya. Rock no. That's all I have say from my experiences

**wongce** · 19th Jan 2012, 15:34

IMHO, Mizuworld should have checked before sending...

Even normal shops checks their stocks when it arrived... especially when the rocks are so much more expensive...really wonder why ADA stones are BROWN?? something is wrong somewhere..

Neondagger, lets start digging for rocks...LOL...

Starting today haha. First stop gc. Those who heading there leave some rocks for me

In the process of learning. painful but fun!

The stones you got look like they're iron rich stones. The brown sections indicate this.

Stormhawk, you have any site where I can reference color to what was deposited?

I got 2 rocks from seaview. Gray with white deposits. Quite nice

**marimo** · 20th Jan 2012, 11:46

As i had sent earlier
http://www.adana.co.jp/en/products/material/index.php

which i had told neon .. when u break the 'seiryu' , the inside is dark grey with white crystal veining through.
Indeed quite horrific when inside is brown

do you think your rock resembles to a manten stone?
http://archiwumallegro.pl/ada_manten...849364414.html

I cant even differentiate spot on manten,yamaya or seiryu in the stores and the store keeper don't know either
They just mix together and are dirty , dry and algae on them.

Very good example, obviously cleaned,dry
the white crystal can be seen on top and vein through
deep groove cuts

Manten
this one looks like seiryu from far when its dirty , buy home and clean to realise it is not.
I have a few collected that end up not seiryu.

All the stones at a view

**Shadow** · 20th Jan 2012, 19:17

confirm not manten.

marimo, you have good rocks collection there

**Neondagger** · 20th Jan 2012, 19:26

I went to gc. Saw the exact same rock. It's called sieiyu or something. Not seiryu. I hate this rock lol. I bought black lava rock from gc hehe. Stay tuned for my first sand scape haha. I love it. Simple and nice.

**Shadow** · 20th Jan 2012, 19:35

I believe it is probably from the same supplier. Maybe the whole singapore have only one supplier

black lava rocks is also nice, but so far only see the

small one.

**Neondagger** · 20th Jan 2012, 23:50

The malaysia guy have big lava rocks. 2.5ft iwagumi with glosso. He got big ones. Ya at GC all small ones. Well my tank small tank haha.

Not sure of sites, but the reddish brown sections on Neondagger's rocks are typical of iron rich rocks like laterite. I believe in this case, the rocks may be a type of migmatite, or just granite/slate mixed with clay particles in a type of rock. Gray with white deposits can be a mix of rock types. There are some granites that have white deposits in them. To know better you can probably take a photo of the rocks and try to find a professional geologist for help.
