What is Pebble?

A pebble is a sizeable rock that can be composed of a variety of minerals. These rocks are usually smooth on their sides as a result of weathering. Pebble is most commonly found in and around running waterways, like beaches, streams, and rivers. Because it is so easy to find, this mineral has been used as a tool for centuries and continues to be implemented in landscaping and for other construction.

Uses & Applications

Pebble appears among the very first man-made items used in prehistory. Currently, stones of this form have many commercial uses, for gardens, pathways, and landscaping gardens. Larger, attractive stones are used decoratively for items such as paperweights.
