I am not a geologist, but those look like water tumbled stones, big ones. Don't know if you can buy them; you might be able to find them in creeks and riverbeds, but be cognizant of whether you can pick them up from there (private property, parks, etc.)

Home Depot?
Just bought a couple bags of river stones there. About 16 dollars a bag.

It's kinda magical back there with all the stones and pavers. Oddly my favorite section. I specifically got mine at the Catonsville Home Depot, but they probably have them at Eastern Avenue Home Depot.

They’re auctioning off some of the originals if you feel like dropping nearly $10k on a rock with googly eyes. https://a24auctions.com/auctions/mementos-multiverse/rockverse-rock

I have a suggestion, but it would technically be stealing 😬 But if you just want to gaze upon some rocks like these, there is an open lot on Key Highway, right next to the Harborview Tower and Pierside Homes. They completely filled the lot with rocks, I believe to prevent skateboarding. Some of the rocks are exactly like these, and are actually this large—the ones at Home Depot are similar, but a good bit smaller than these. I have taken a couple of the rocks for my plants, but again—it is technically theft. But there are just so many of them, and I couldn’t resist when I saw a couple that looked really cool. Take this for what it’s worth and do whatever you want, but I wanted to share the knowledge lol
