So we're painting rocks and got these rocks at Lowes but they seem to have some oil content and won't take paint or urethane well without chipping off. Anyone know what kind of rock it is? Other than a love stone.....

If I had to guess though, I'd say some sort of basalt...

As to the oily surface, maybe they treated them with oil or wax to make them a little glossy?? Crack one open and post a picture.

Theres not a single rock on my whole property. Nope, they're all married with big families....
A few years back they started rip-rapping the shores in front of all the expensive lake homes to prevent erosion. Excavators and landscapers started buying up all the rock piles the local farmers had been saving for generations. Once the farmers got wise to what was going on, prices of rocks went up considerably!

Here's a broken one. My niece and her hubby took some boulders from the farm to the city and put them in their front lawn. It raised the assessed value by 20k!
