Stones vary between suppliers. Edit any diameter to match yours — the table and both calculators update as you type.

Estimates only. Totals are broken down into packaging units: 1 gross = 144 stones, 1 dozen = 12 with the leftover shown as loose stones. Stone sizes use the smallest diameter in each SS range, so counts run slightly high rather than short. Interlaced (offset) placement packs about 15% more stones into the same area than square placement. Always allow a margin for breakage and spares.
