So what is the difference between a rock and a stone? Good question!
"Stones and rocks and boulders and pebbles are all the same things: rock material. The main difference is size. Stone is generally used for large amounts, rock is just the generic term, boulders are pieces of rock bigger than a foot across or so, and pebbles are smaller than 2.5 inches - roughly. The actual size ranges are calibrated by something called the ‘Wentworth scale’." - Pamela Z.
