There were other colors but these looked the most like you could use them somewhere ..

I LOVE Free!! :)) :))

My thought would be to try scraping the granules off - looks like it would make great talus.
Or maybe just chop it up and glue it down in areas of talus build-up - a little a alcohol/India Ink or alcohol/shoe dye, followed
by a a little dirt over it would look natural.

Good find - reminds us to never overlook anything! :D :D

They work great for gravel roads in larger scales but for most scales, nadda.

I'm at local Lowes looking for these samples. All I can find are these:
