      If you read the article, it doesn’t say anything about the stones, other than she wanted to put them in her aquarium.

      She was arrested because it’s illegal to remove historical artifacts from Turkey

      No other info is given

        According to a previous article (written in Dutch), one of the stones they took had flowers drawn on it so therefore it was of historical value. However they found it in a street in-between some trash so it’s not like they really stole it from anywhere. The other stones they took from the shore.

        The article – which may or may not be accurate – seems to say that there is a prohibition on stones in general, not just carved stones:

        However, under Turkish law it is forbidden to just take stones out of the country with you.

        Could just be unclear phrasing, of course.
