Building a Fountain from Natural Stones Collected on a Hike

Size Variety: Collect large, medium, and small stones for structure, accent, and filler.
Shape: Rounded stones (river rocks) create smooth water flow, while flat stones can form stable layers or basins.
Texture: Rougher stones provide visual contrast and help guide water flow.
Durability: Avoid soft stones like sandstone or limestone that may erode quickly. Granite, basalt, and quartzite are ideal.
