But in selecting stone, we found what works best is stone in the 1 1/2" - 3" variety, something that's angular instead of rounded - the angular stone lock together and stay in place better than the rounded ones. As for where to find it - just check your local landscape supply yards that have bins of different kinds of stone. Also, for cost reasons this one was not mortared in place, but our preference is to mortar the stones to a concrete slab to give better hold.

My stuggle is finding rocks--What rocks did you use on your mosaic and where did you get supply. Right now I am looking for blue river rock. Thanks--gg I’ve been wanting to do a mosiac for some time.
