So, I have a few specific rocks/stones/minerals that I am looking for. I have a specific look that I want to attain in my 10g, and I have found several minerals I want to use that are considered aquarium safe. I just don't know where to buy them. They are a bit on the fancier side....(like quartz)....so when I look them up online, all I get is either big, collectible pieces or jewelry. I want some rough, natural pieces. Any ideas for places online?
Where to buy rocks for my tank?

If you want quartzite, some landscapers and stonesellers carry it. If you mean quartz crystal, check museum gift shops. Sometimes touristy places will have semi-precious gem sellers too.
Otherwise, contact a local geology club and see what the rockhounds have to say.

My local rivers and streams don't have what I am looking for. Hence the post.
There are plenty of lovely rocks in my backyard which I have used in my other tanks. But I am shooting for a specific color scheme for this tank....
