River Rock

River Rock is cobble- to boulder-size stone that has been rounded by transport in a river or stream. The best river rock has some flat surfaces and angles so that it stacks well, minimizing joint widths and forming good corners. The parent rock type (sandstone, limestone, granite, etc.) of which the river rock is composed, and the distance of transport in the river, determine the quality of the river rock.
