Yes, I want rocks. I'm in Kentucky right now visiting the grandbaby and as I drive along the interstate, the sides of the roads are rock (like the Ozarks). I also visited a local nursery here and they had pink quartz. It was gorgeous, but I couldn't afford to buy the piece (89 cents a pound and it probably weighed 50 pounds).
Coastal Mississippi has no rocks or stones! I'd love pieces that are really unusual or marbled with quartz. I am willing to pay postage for a flat rate box. I bought a weeping blue atlas cedar to commemorate Liam's birth and would love to have some rocks to spread around in the garden I'm going to plant for him.
One more thing, I am looking for blue potato vine. If anyone has one, please let me know. thanks and love, julie
CLOSED: Odd request: I want rocks!
What size are you looking for?
Julie,
It was the same where I used to live, the coast of south Texas.....not a rock in sight.
Now I live in North Carolina and there are outcroppings of white quartz everywhere. It is so plentiful that in the old days when the farmers cleared their land they used the quartz as the foundation of their buildings...kinda like we use cinder blocks today. Neat!
I'll be gone all day today, but I'll try to post some pix tomorrow. Do you think you would be interested?

I have lots of rock, but it's just old limestone nothing special. Maybe the next time I go to my parents land I can find you some quartz.
If you are coming down I-44 between Springfield MO and Joplin MO, stop by and I'll give you some rocks. I have a few really cool ones in my garden. They unfortunately won't fit in a flat rate box, but we'll load them.
I am interested in ones that will fit into a flat rate box. The box cannot weigh over 30 pounds. They can range in size.
dylancgc, I wish I were near you, because I'd be filling up the bed of my truck. love, julie
I think I still have one in the field with a hole in it that would make a cool water feature. I also have one in the rock pile (translation- rocks I haven't found the right spot for yet but are too cool to just let go) that is huge and would make an awesome water feature, I just haven't figured out where to put it yet. I also have 2 large rocks that have holes all in them like worms crawled through them, they are super heavy. I'm trying to figure out how to make a bench out of them for the shade garden.
Dylancgc, that sounds like some GREAT ideas! Are the rocks with "holes in them" lava rock? It sounds like it. I wonder what it would cost to have them CUT for a flat top to fit a bench seat on. Hummmm or could you built a box frame to fit over the top to create the support of a bench top?
They are already flat so I just need to figure out how to sit the "back" of the bench. I may just use more rocks for legs and sit the flat part on them. I'll try to find a picture of them.
If you're still in Kentucky, call the highway department and they may have some somewhere you can get.
Just a thought.
