# Pagoda stone

Dark stone built from thin stacked layers.

## What the simulation uses

- Holds water: 1 % by volume (Water it keeps after draining; the rest runs down to the drainage.)

- Pore space: 3 % by volume (Room for air and water between grains; low means roots suffocate when wet.)

- Weight: 2550 g/L (How heavy a litre is.)

- pH: 7 to 7.5 pH (How acid it keeps the soil.)

## Description
Dark stone built from thin stacked layers. It holds almost no water and leaves pH alone, so it is purely decorative.

Also called layered stone.

Estimated, where sources were thin: look authored for the app; physical values estimated.
