Black is hard to find, we were told it is not as in demand as the red. We have an Ace Hardware in Simi Valley that carries the small golf ball size stuff. I bought truckloads for our last house there and they said after what they had was gone they were not going to re-order it since I was the only one buying it. In our new digs I saw that they had it again (after a year) and bought all they had. I need more, but they are again debating on carrying it.

For the larger melon sized stuff we found some for our pond at Carlson Building materials (not feather rock) in Thousand Oaks. They also had Moss Rock (from Oregon) that is a cool looking volcanic stone, but heavier and more expensive as it is sold by weight.

I posted the same topic years ago and some answered to go out to the desert where there is still some inactive volcanos and pick it up.
