Source for interesting rocks?

I've been inspired by the Amano books (and who hasn't?) to do a Zen style
arrangement in my new tank. The rocks seem so central to the success of
the design, so where can I find some really great rocks? I'm always on the
lookout for them when I'm out hiking but have been striking out thus far.

Thanks,

I have rocks everywhere here, but I have found out that they are mostly limestone which you can't use.

So I don't know what to do. I only know it's limestone because someone told me, but I need to learn to do that acid test thing.

If I find something other than limestone, I'll just bring y'all a truckload up sometime.

Come around my area - lots of good rocks for
what you're trying to do.

Ben, I actually need some limestone for a Malawi cichlid tank I'm planning. Can you bring some rock to the next meeting?

Ghazanfar - Where are you located? If it isn't too terribly far I'd
love to on a rock hunting trip!

Cheers,

I'm up near Dulles Airport. There should be pics
floating around somewhere when Giancarlos and Jay
came down to collect some rocks.

I live about 5 hours away and have only made it to one meeting in the last year. I hope to get to one someday before the AGA. I'll try to find you something. I can get tons of limestone I think.

Does vinegar work for the acid test? I'm going to pick some up on the way home today maybe (rocks).
