Genuine Canadian Ballast Rocks do not exhibit any deleterious effects from
UV . All date from Precambrian times and have been tested thoroughly. We
have heard reports of rocks falling apart without UV inhibitors in the
coating and on investigation discovered that these rocks originated in
Silicone Valley and have built in obsolescence.  We have no knowledge that
Bill Gates is involved although some of the rocks have a geeklike
appearance.
