You can get it at Home Depot or Lowe’s as long as it’s not polished.

would there be a difference in what I see online and in person?

I was browsing online guess I'll have to wait till I go in

 

You could just go out and find some . Plenty in New York. Ok first you’ll have to move some snow . But if you look around creaks and streams you will find what your looking for . Also the north shore of Long Island has plenty of rocks

 

You can also go to a rock or landscaping place. They will have a variety of different rocks to choose from as well

actually I'm looking reputable online sellers.i honestly don't have the time to walk around rivers and lakes looking for rocks as much id like to

 

I try my best to not order online, hard to keep local stores around to buy stuff in person that way. But today, i went to one of our LFSs and was rather struck by their selection of different kinds of slate and dragon stone.

Shipping on rocks is going to be high also.

Maybe not last option, but if you have local stores i feel it is kind of owed to the community and yourself to at least check out what they got. There is something to be said for buying rocls and driftwood when you can physically hold and inspect them instead of purchasing sight unseen.
