Featured Bag Of Stones

There are different kinds but the majority are those. Any idea what are they. I'll post pics of the rest later.
Thanks

 

They may be Japanese. Somewhere I have a box of pebbles brought back from Japan by an uncle in the 1960s. They were from some beach known for the regularity of the pebbles. I think they're used for ikebana and bonsai and the like.

I found the box. The ones I have are called Mihama pebbles. Mihama Koshi from Shichiri-Mihama beach.

And you got me remembering my uncle. Very good.

 

Thanks. I googled Mihama pebbles but from what I saw they don't look like mine. Can we see yours?

 

Don't have a picture right now. Yours may not be specifically Mihama, but I think its likely they are the same sort of thing.

 

I don't know, even searching with just Japanese pebbles does not show any similar.
Also, got a bit of those white and green ones. I was thinking jade maybe?

 

They remind me of the stones they sell at garden centers and candle stores in bags and containers. The green ones look a bit different maybe

 

Mmm, I strongly suspect a coating of some kind if they are stones

 

First ones look to me like glass pebbles/nuggets with an iridescent/luster finish, the others look like polished/tumbled jade stones/pebbles - as already mentioned, they can be bought in small bags for decorative use, or in bulk for garden use...
