It could be a calcium deposit. What have your pH and alkalinity readings been. If 7.8 or higher that may be your answer. Correct the pH and try maintaining a slightly more aggressive pH - 7.2 to 7.4 for a while.
It could be that you are too aggressive on the pH - 6.8 to 7.2 adjust this and maintain 7.5. You will not get rid of the "fading" if this is the cause. k

Because veichals always go on the road so its nice black color starts fading away. As time goes by the asphalt is worn away revealing the lighter colored rocks that it is mixed with.
Dark colored rocks.
Basaltic Magmas are dark colored, heavy and are ferromagnesian in composition, so they most times do not form light colored rocks, rather, the Felsic Granitic Magma forms the light colored rocks with lower densities.
As a first approximation, the colour of igneous rocks gives an estimate of the concentration of iron in it. Very dark igneous rocks commonly a large fraction of minerals with iron as a major constituent. As those minerals are denser than most other silicate minerals occuring in igneous rocks, dark colored igenous rocks are usually denser than the ligher ones.
There are pink colored rocks for fish tanks, look in the pet department or go to a store that sells aquarium supplies. Craft stores usually have colored rocks.
