I make my own too. But in the past I've bought:
Deepwater tonga - $2.85 / lb plus shipping
Topshelf Marshall Islands - $9/lb local purchase
Rubble $2.99 a scoop - usually about 3 lbs worth.
Baserock from a friend - priceless....

white.
If it's black - you're probably using crushed oyster shells right?
Thing is - black will grow coralline more quickly. Allthough intially I think oyster shell rock looks very unrealistic.

heck, the mixture is the easiest part of it. Getting it to look real is the hard part.
