Well looks like your standard Igneous Rock I have some of it and would call it granite. Which dosnt seam to matter much as mine never comes when i call it any how.
That 9 cm looks like those stones you find in those wire stone retaining wall type paks.
Depending on your needs maybe that sort of company can help you. maybe

Where did i get mine I dont remenber I have a thing when I travel in OZ I will pick up a nice interestng stone and bring it home its going to drive a geologist nuts one day, all the mixed rock types in the one place.
It's great that you've received excellent advice from @Jewelleryrescue. It's definitely a quarried stone broken to this very specific size for fencing. You'll probably need to source it from a specific stone and quarry garden store. If you're thinking about building a gabion fence you can always use Tuscan Path 1.5kg 30 - 50mm Natural Stone White Pebbles. They are big enough to stay stuck inside a standard wired stone fence. Are you currently trying to do a repair or replacement?
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Apologies for late response I found probably about 40 of these at my latest res. and wanted to find a description and use for them. Thank you for your advice Eric
Hi johnmisk2021
The stone is called Tiger Skin, it is a granite native to China and it comes many forms into Australia whether its paving, cobblestones or cladding. Typically you can buy these as per the picture but will need to be wet set into concrete, which very labour intensive Best bet is to find cobbles that are split faced with a sawn back so you can direct stick to a concrete slab. Most of these are 20mm thick.
