Black Lava Rock (1/4 in.

Upgrade your fire feature with natural medium lava rocks for fire pits, fireplaces, and fire bowls. These durable volcanic rocks provide a timeless, natural appearance while offering a practical and cost-effective way to fill your gas fire feature.

Formed naturally as volcanic magma cools and releases trapped gases, lava rock develops its distinctive porous, textured surface. Because of its volcanic origin, lava rock can withstand extremely high temperatures without crumbling, melting, or losing its shape, making it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor fire features.

For deeper fire pits and fireplaces, lava rock is an excellent filler material because it helps reduce the amount of premium fire glass required. Simply fill the deeper portion of the fire feature with lava rock and finish the surface with your preferred fire glass for a clean, high-end appearance.

Ideal for Fire Pits, Fire Bowls & Fireplaces

Medium lava rock is suitable for a wide variety of fire features, including:

• Gas fire pits
• Outdoor fire bowls
• Indoor and outdoor fireplaces
• Fire tables
• Natural gas fire features
• Liquid propane fire features
• Custom fire pit installations

Lava rock can also help conceal visible gas piping, burner components, and tubing, creating a cleaner and more finished appearance.

High-Temperature & Long-Lasting

Natural volcanic lava rock is designed by nature to handle intense heat. It provides a durable, low-maintenance fire media solution that can withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles while maintaining its natural shape and appearance.

Lava rocks are compatible with both natural gas and liquid propane fire pits and fireplaces when used according to the fire feature manufacturer’s installation requirements.

Use Alone or Under Fire Glass

Create the look that works best for your fire feature. Lava rocks can be used on their own for a rugged, natural aesthetic or as a base filler underneath decorative fire glass.

Using lava rock beneath fire glass is especially useful for large or deep fire pits because it reduces the amount of fire glass needed to achieve proper coverage, helping lower the overall cost of your project.

For a premium finished appearance, completely cover the lava rock base with your selected fire glass so the filler layer is not visible.

Hand-Sorted for Quality

Our lava rocks are sifted, sorted, and packed by hand to help ensure consistent quality and remove unsuitable material before packaging.

For optimal installation, follow the specifications provided by your fire pit or fireplace manufacturer regarding burner coverage, media depth, airflow, and approved fire media.
