We have some really nice red & black granite here too and I'd thought of
using it as the gravel as it would look nice, then remembered all the work
required to crush it. Plus I had a concern with the sharp edges. Rocks &
minerals are another of my hobbies and I'm a novice at it too.
=====================
I buy all my aquarium gravel at Lowe's. You can get a 50lb bag of natural
brown gravel for less than $4. :-) They also sell bags of other natural
stone and rock that looks great in an aquarium. It needs little rinsing
before use.
