Frequently Asked Questions

The pebbles range from 0.2 inch to 0.5 inch, making them a small gravel size suited to detail work in planters, vases, terrariums, and garden borders.
Yes, these are natural stone pebbles that can be used in aquariums. Rinse them thoroughly before placing them in any aquatic environment to remove dust and residue.
Coverage depends on the depth you apply. As a general guide, a 40 lb bag of pebbles this size will cover approximately 3 to 4 square feet at a 1-inch depth, though results vary with pebble packing.
The product description notes mixed natural colors, so while the predominant tone is black, individual pebbles may include subtle color variation due to their natural stone composition.
The polished surface may gradually dull with prolonged outdoor exposure to weather and UV, though the underlying stone color remains. Sealing the pebbles can help maintain the polished look longer.
