Collecting stones is something most of us have indulged in at some point or another. As kids, many of us might have spent endless hours walking along that rocky and sandy coastline trying to pick the most beautiful, colorful and smooth little rocks we can get our hands on. A camping trip in the woods or a trip to the nearby creek also involves similar memories. While some of us polished the rocks with sandpaper, others used the more fancy rock polishers. Modern designers inspired by nature and its many rocky wonders, have replicated the aura of a natural stone with various artificial materials.
