Black Allure Riverbed 

Black Allure Riverbed captures the rugged contrast and serene flow of Pyrenean mountain streams. Its blend of bright natural sand, deep dark gravels, and smooth river-worn pebbles recreates the interplay of light and shadow found in crystal-clear alpine waters. The result is a high-contrast, dynamic riverbed that adds depth, movement, and mountain-born elegance to any aquascape.

Perfect for creating winding stream paths, layered substrates, or dramatic foregrounds, Black Allure Riverbed is easy to shape and endlessly versatile. Fully natural and safe for all aquatic life, the pale sand is completely inert, while the darker stones may gently influence hardness — easily balanced through standard water changes. Ideal for both minimalist aquascapes and bold mountain-inspired designs.
