Caribsea has very nice gravel. I have a couple bags of "kon tiki" mixed with a couple bags of black sand but went with caribsea because its fine enough less will fall between and they have a lot of really nice colors.

I've used a few different brands of black gravel throughout the years. The cheap stuff faded and lost its color. I believe the name of the brand I liked best was Estes. It never faded even after a couple years.

I actually like the natural one you posted. But what I like doesn't matter. You're the one that has to look at it everyday lol.
