Several competitors on the Scottish island of Easdale used stones that were ground down to be perfectly circular.

Ooft, the prize is literally just a trophy, why would you cheat this? Skimming takes skill, but to win you surely need a healthy dose of luck too. Anyway, Easdale looks a fun place to visit

    As long as I’m here, should mention that I didn’t even realize I was replying to you in the comments of that one about the sandpaper. At the time, I’d intended to toss in that parenthetical with no context and wander off and, upon noticing the coincidence, debated editing it out since it could look like I was following you around. No malice in it and while we may cleave along the rock/stone question, I respect your efforts.
