Royal Imports Large Flat Painting Decorative Ornamental Rocks River Pebbles for Landscaping, Plants, Home Decor and Art, 9-12 Pcs in Netted Bag (6 Lbs), Black 3"-3.5"

Beautiful stones

Four of the rocks came with very noticeable inclusions...there is no way that I would consider painting on them and giving them as gifts

I purchased these rocks thinking they would be polished and ready for painting. Not polished and on the bag they came in said if using for an aquarium ( which I wasn’t thinking of) boil rocks or use a steady stream of water to kill any bacteria or parasites… I immediately soaked them even for my own safety. Other than that a couple of stones had some deep divets and one perfectly round stone out of all of them. Suitable for painting but will need to get creative on a couple.Update….. finally had a chance to use the rocks/paint them…..they are dyed! Not Natural. I used acetone to fix a small mistake and it took of the paint AND the black dye used on the rocks. My cotton swab turned black and i was using white paint! Buyer BEWARE!!!

These are grey, dull, and have cracks in them. I’m so disappointed. They were described as black and looked shiny in the description and pictures of them. I feel ripped off.

These rocks are great -- they're smooth, well formed, consistent in color, substantial without being too heavy to work with -- and look great in my planter. I wanted something unusual for the top of my planter that would help to hold in moisture, cover the dirt, and these rocks did beautifully. They dark grey color matches the color of our polished, sealed concrete floor. Also, when I need to repot the plant or put in more dirt, removing these rocks will be easy, not only to remove, but for cleaning. Although I'm not painting these rocks, it is clear to me they would be great for that purpose. I am ordering two more sets of these rocks for other planters. Thanks.

The description states that the rocks are "flat for painting, this however is not the case, there was one flat out of 10 rocks, so disappointed, I am learning a new craft & hubby bought for me, thinking they would be as described.
