Lava rock used for landscaping around trees and shrubs.

Select a weird and interesting looking one from the thousands lying
around
trees in my yard, drill hole, squirt in glue, instert stand...done.

Actually I do wash them first, glue in fender washers into the bottom
cavity
of the base to make them more stable, and clear coat them so they don't
leave dust everywhere but you don't have to follow these steps if you
don't
want to.

The lava rocks used for gas grills are the same thing and the used ones
actually have some nice character too.
