Where can I buy pieces of Slate Rock

[jaimekey]

I am trying to find pieces of Slate rock for my fish tank. Anyone know where here in Southern Maryland I can get some and what the asking prices are?

Thanks!

first thing i found was this thread.

Have you tried pet stores yet, or are you asking before searching yourself? Petco maybe?

Here's another thread I found about people asking about slate...it had a few potentially useful tidbits.
