Its very hard to find from the usual online places. I see it on ebay from time to time. I have also seen folks use stuff from Marco Rocks with good results.

LR has not been exported from Tonga for several months now and may not resume ever. Few major retailers still have it in stock and the quality of what's left is pretty low in most cases.

I'll check into the marco rocks. Didn't realize rock wasn't coming out of tonga. I guess that's what I saw it referred to. I'm basically looking for really flat pieces for a nano project I am about to do.
Thanks for the info everyone!

Why not get a hacksaw and cut some yourself?
