1 cu ft of lava rocks weighs 50 lbs, so half a cubic foot weighs half of that, or 25 lbs. Just remember the quantity "50 lbs per cubic foot" for lava rocks. Note that a cubic foot is the volume that will fill a box that is 1 ft by 1 ft by 1 ft, and that 1.0 cu ft of rocks will cover a 4 sq ft area to a depth of 3 inches. That would be an area of 4'x1' or 2'x2'. A "half cubic foot" measures 9.5" x 9.5" x 9.5" (or, 0.79' x 0.79' x 0.79'; try it on your calculator). A half cu ft of rocks will cover a 2 sq ft area to a depth of 3 inches. That would be an area that is 2'x1'.

How much does 1 cubic ft of aggregate weigh?

If you are going to buy river stone/pebles/rock from supplier they use the "formula" Cubic Yards x 1.25 = Weight in tons. They then sell it by the ton. (say $300 per ton) But this is an approximation. If it is one very big river rock it would be a good approximation, but even then it would depend upon the density of the rock eg granite would require a bigger constant (the 1.25) than a Sandstone boulder.
