Waterfall produces perfect spheres of ice (video)

Years ago at Devil’s Postpile in CA I saw a basalt ball that had been created by moving water. A boulder washing downstream in a flood had fallen into a recess in harder rock in the riverbed. There it tumbled for who knows how long, becoming a sphere by the time they found it and moved it to their little museum. I remember it as about a foot in diameter.
