They look like small stones

They are very VERY tiny and can be as small as a grain of sand. They can look like a wee teeny piece of jagged gravel, or smooth. Believe me, if you pass a kidney stone...you will know it. You will have an extreme dry mouth (little to no saliva) , pain in your back that will have you rolling on the floor and saying more cuss words then you've ever heard any say and when it finally passes you will feel a slight "plop" when you go to pee in the toilet and all the pain INSTANTLY subsides. If you suspect a kidney stone is passing the doc will ask you to use a strainer to pee through hoping to catch the stone so it can be tested to see what type of stone. (The tiny strainers that you hold in your hand and they have very close holes and only about the size of an egg....not a spaghetti strainer as the holes are too big.) Hope this helps and hope you're not having one!!

You cant always see these little stones, but you sure can feel them. If your a woman, and had children, passing a stone is worst than having child birth, .If your a guy imagine squeezing a lemon thru your pee hole to pass these stones. OUCH they hurt

Small brownish granules like a small piece of gravel.
