Technically, if stones are quite often taken from a particular river, it counts as a quarry. Which means its possible by that interpretation that the first two sources are both right, and the third is half right.

Nice find, thanks! Although this "most likely" is a bit unsatisfactory... In the meantime I found another source: Borobudur, Golden Tales of the Buddhas, by John Miksic, which states the same thing: "The monument is built of over a million blocks of stone laboriously hauled up a hill from a nearby riverbed, then cut and carved with great artistry." Again with no source to this claim. I'd love to track down the original source of this hypothesis and the evidence supporting it, although it could be written in Dutch...
