Customers often ask us – What is the lightest color of Mexican beach pebbles? The short answer – buff ivory beach pebbles. These are stones in the off-white and cream shade family. They sometimes include a touch of light brown pigment, but are mainly off-white. The best way to appreciate the color nuance is to contrast buff pebbles against darker color, such as black Mexican pool pebbles.
Ivory Beach Pebbles: Are They Rare?
Ivory pebbles are not easy to find in large quantities. Mother Nature washes out ivory and buff pebbles on our beaches in Baja, California, in somewhat smaller amounts when compared to black and grey pebbles. This is why our trusted workers have to be especially watchful when searching for buff stones. However, since we own and operate more than 10 miles of pebble beaches, we are the best source to fill custom orders for ivory and buff landscape pebbles.
How Are Ivory Pebbles Used?
Ivory pebbles are typically used as accents. For example, most customers install black pool pebbles around their pools and as walkways. They then might use a smaller amount of ivory or buff beach pebbles to create a fire pit that serves as the focal point of the pool landscape. Another popular use is to place light colored pebbles around dark green plants, such as birds of paradise and certain palms.
Sometimes customers ask us about ivory river rock because they want to create a unique chimney design or fireplace. Here, the possibilities are endless. As a direct source, we can supply various shades of buff pebbles ranging from ivory to almost brown. This allows our customers to create fireplace and chimney designs in the form of mosaic or carefully designed color gradation. We have even assisted a customer who wanted to create a winding flame and smoke visual effect on the chimney.
So Are These Pebbles White?
Ivory pebbles are not truly white in a sense that they are not translucent / milky white as certain stone of Asian origin. Mexican beach pebbles have more dimension to them, and always include some color gradient. This is because beach and pool pebbles have been shaped over millions of years by relentless wave activity, slowly washing off some pigment and revealing another.
