| I live in CO with mostly dry round sandstone rocks so where could I find a nice rock to use for a root-on-rock bonsai. Like a lava rock or limestone or something, is there a place I could buy one? |

| Hi Steezeven, try your nearest aquarium specialty shop. I just bought petrified wood for root-over rock and lace rock for tree-planted-in-rock styles from my local shop. Betty |

| Yep, Try any pet shop where they sell equipment for Aquariums or reptile en-closers, also some nurseries might carry them. I've tried looking in my area for a good rock for root over rock, since I don't really like the aesthetic appeal of the porous lava rocks at the pet stores, but its near impossible in the Chicago land area. Looks like the only way to to find a good one is by going hiking in a mountainous area. |

| What a great idea, Gessiegirl...I'd never considered aquarium shops (or pet stores). Of course, I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, and we've got rock everywhere.... |

| Thanks, Greenman. :) Steezeven, when you head out to check nurseries, look especially for landscape/garden center combination type businesses. Betty |

| Thanks for the advice. Ill see what I can find |
