The stones are not all round, they're all different shapes. Size-wise, they're mostly around 1/2", although some are as small as 1/4" and some are as large as 7/8". I did not find any over 1 inch. If you really need smaller stones for a specific project, search for the gravel by 1/4" size. Otherwise, with this bag, you can always sort through to find the smaller stones... it's a calming task. I was repotting some baby succulents from 1" plastic pots into 3" ceramic pots and was able to find enough smaller stones to cover the soil. I used the larger stones for cactus in larger pots. Photos show the first few plants I repotted.
The gravel works well to keep moisture in plants, yet allows air to circulate. They help keep soil in place and make the plants look neater. They also help to keep any small flies from taking up residence. I'm happy with my purchase.

I wanted to comment on some of the other reviewers claiming the rocks are unsafe and covered in "petroleum." My best guess is, this is not petroleum, but wax. Why do I think this? Because when I rinsed them in cold water, they seemed relatively clean. That is, until I decided to use hot water. Tons of flakes started to rise to the surface. I then used a cup to skim the surface of the water. Most of it stuck to the sides of the cup (because it was colder than the water.) Seems like wax to me!
Anyway, as with ANYTHING you put in your fish tank.. thoroughly wash it (using hot water!)
I did send an email to the companies website asking for a definitive answer to what is on it. I will update this review once I get it.
Bottom line, it's been two weeks in my tank, and my fish are fine. and my tank looks great. I'd totally buy them again.

As a final step, after soaking the last time, I then poured cool water over the top to check for any floating wax chunks. There were a few and I skimmed those off. I put these rocks in my aquarium and the water color has not been altered, the filter is fine, the fish are fine. Everything is fine. And they look great! Just know that if you’re buying these for an aquarium you’ll have prep work to do first. If I were to do it over again, I would just buy aquarium-specific rocks from a pet store to avoid the hassle.
