I buy a lot of rocks for tumbling or cabbing./ slabbing. Ebay and private sites. I’ve had mostly positive results. Know you seller is my only advice. @blockhead I can’t say I’ve made any money but they’re definitely cooler when I’m done with them.
i can’t find enough by myself to feed my tumblers. I’m blessed with quite a few tumblers.

I find more rocks than I can tumble, and then I buy some too! I have a problem . . .

Is there a support group for rockaholics? I am a rockaholic, I pledge to do my best to make every rock I tumble pretty and shiny. If I fall off the bucket I'll just pick myself up and try again.

I buy . It’s difficult to rock hound in Chihuahua without your own private army.

Okay, if I pay for shipping rocks from Ohio, is that buying rocks, because, I don't Buy Rocks. 🤣🤣🤣

We buy rocks. We do hound sometimes just for the fun of getting out and finding them ourselves.
Most of the rocks we really like don't grow around here.
Even if they do, the cost for time, fuel, etc, for a hounding trip is usually no better than the cost of buying comparable rough.

I see the Opposite Question asked more often. Should I Collect My Own rocks ?

Occasionally we find rocks doing something else, but usually it's a planned hounding trip, and likely to cost more than just buying them. Especially with current gas prices.

I decided long ago that it is cheaper to buy rocks than to dig them.

Rocks are cheap and I buy misc ones from many sources to ship to my office. I'm on 2nd floor at top of stairway. FedEx and UPS and USPS staff all know me and sometimes I can hardly look them in the eye out of guilt. Have grit when shipped to to my home. Have never yet had 50lb box fall prey to porch pirates.
