Nice for little terrariums

Nice for little terrariums
I bought this to add as a layer in a succulent terrarium I'm making. Can't say if it works or not but I attached pictures as to size and what you get as well as how much 24 oz is. They're tiny little chunks. The bag is different from the picture but it's just a bag.
