I'm pretty sure it's Fiji Rock or failing that it's Matten Rock.

Very hard to find rocks like that I must say. To me it looks like one you would find by a river or something, your best bet is to go out locally and try and find one in the countryside.

Petrified wood. Here is smallish one I have in one of my (non planted) tanks. The taller stuff in the Amano tank looks like big shards of granite. Petrified wood can be as big (tree size) or small as you want. I bet all of it is petrified wood though for uniformity.

The Asian countries just get cooler rocks than those of us in the US and Europe.

AquaEssentials, I'll go with Manten stone over Fuji rock, but both would look fantastic.

ADA Europe sell them but they're hellishly expensive. We had the option of buying them in but due to their price, I figured no one would be interested.

If you get enough people together you could buy a box of it, say abouy 10 people or something club together, worth thinking about.

>>> no way of telling

Absolutely agree.

>>> definatly some kind of sedimentry rock

Not sure I'd agree with that. Why does it have to be sedimentary?

because of the layers (striations) which are indicative of small particles of
Earth and decomposed plant and animal life that settle at the bottom of
lakes, rivers and oceans and are compressed by the weight of the
water until the bottom layers slowly turn into rock
