The process by which a River stone is created is a brutal one! Brutal enough to turn mountains into beach sand. We reject an awful lot of stones before they make it to our tables. But . . . 

• Sometimes, a stone will hide it's flaws until the very end of our time working with it.
• Some just don't meet our standards. 
• Some may not handle the freeze thaw. 
• These were hopeful $139.99s that just don't make the cut.
• Some of our customers use these as feeders.
