Im afraid not.
They are sold as cobbles 40-90mm. They are graded at anything in that size bracket, all different shapes like pebbles.
Just need a rough estimate really

40-90mm cobbles should generate 7 to 11m² per tonne. The variation in size is what causes such a big variation in coverage. The bigger the cobble, the fewer metres per tonne.

Be aware that some of the bulk bags sold via merchants only contain 850kg, not a full tonne.
