A pebble is a grain or peice of of rock with a particle size of 4 to 64 millimeters based on the Krumbein phi scale of sedimentology that has been broken down from larger peices. It is generally described to be larger than gravel and smaller than cobble. A rock made predominantly of pebbles is termed a conglomerate. Pebble tools are among the earliest known man-made artifacts, dating from the Palaeolithic period of human history. They have been found at Olduvai Gorge (1.85 million years ago[and at Longuopo in China (1.8 to 1.5 MYA ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble

Pebbles can be made of any rock that is weathered or eroded, and typically are made by water action. They may be igneous rock such as basalt or granite, or metamorphic rocks such as quartz (silicates).
