Home Depot sells both, and you'll want to look for Hoffman brand, yet any brand will really suffice.

I'm just wondering because I have no idea what they look like [texture/etc. etc.] except from what I see in pictures.......
just making sure I don't grab one with wrong additives or something in them, that would hurt the process.

I bought hoffmans and it is really small vermiculate, you need to add a little bit more water than usual to prevent your jars from drying out and stopping colonization.

It's made by Pursells and I purchased that bag at Lowes. Here's a photo that shows the size of the particles. The measuring tape is in inches.
