If I offended you, I apologize.

"but true suiseki is usually volcanic rocks or those carved by seawater, so idk where you would find a place like that in St. Paul."

I guess I was questioning why you gave advice about not being able to find suiseki any place in St. Paul--which is the conclusion the orginal poster seemed to draw. You said there are no "true" (your words, not mine) suiseki anywhere but in volcanic rocks near water.

I contradicted your words because they really aren't accurate and no further explanation was provided.

Of course I don't know everything. I just found your words a bit discouraging to someone looking to collect something that's really all around them.
