| I have beautiful river rocks from Lake Superior and of course the stones must be wet in order to see the colors.
I had them in the bottom of a fish pond and it was lovely. However that pond is removed now. SO: I'm racking my head as to how to display them. I thought of an aquarium, but I think they would be so crowded and stacked they just won't be properly viewed. My most recent thought is to submerse them in a long trough at ground level Looking like a stream/brook Then I can picture rain/mud splashed dirt covering them. I've never seen clear pond liners and I'm surmising a black one wouldn't display them correctly either. The globes on stands at this site may just work????? http://stores.ebay.com/Terrarium-Planter__W0QQ_sasiZ1 All Brain Power Needed or they have to go for my relocation. Sigh, Jaemy |

| I have a wall of river rock. It is the wall behind the stairs from the living room leading to the second floor. Af first it was the rock adhered with epoxy to the wall. There was a coating of clear varnish to show the colors but it was too dull for the rest of the house decor. So I painted the rocks a forest green high gloss. I then went over the rocks with a paint brush almost dry except for a small amount of flat white paint on the brush. This brought out the texture of the rocks and created a wonderful mix of texture, shape and colors. People who see it for the first time love it and want to know how to recreate the look. It sounds like I had more rock to work with then you do, but the idea might stir some creative thoughts for you. Lisa |

| Another idea is to have a pondless fountain. You could even have this inside your house if you wanted. |
