Hi ... what are good places to get interesting rocks? I'm interested in using them for terrariums.
Getting them at aquarium stores can get expensive so i'm looking for a cheaper source, like a rock or landscaping store that tolerates slightly insane hobbyists like me rummaging through their stocks.
Also, are there places where i could legally pick up rock on land (I doubt it, but thought i'd ask anyway).
thanks!

In the Baltimore area, check out The Stone Store near BWI:

As for picking up rocks, stop by residential construction sites (of course, in this real estate market, those might be hard to find). Some members have had good luck with that.

I was in the landscape industry for 20 years so I can help a little.
The Stone Store in Glen Burnie is good but a little on the exspensive side but when you only want a couple of pieces they may give it away.
Harwood Landscape Products is all stone in Harwood, MD. in southern Anne Arundel Co.
Also in AA county Tilden Lawn in Davidsonville.
