Does Home Depot sell vermiculite?

I was well on my way to the local nursery to pic of some vermiculite, but the stuff they have there is BROWN and FINE. It doesn't look like oatmeal, as is ideal. I have grown successful PF cakes using the fine vermiculite, but I want to use the proper stuff this time. Does lowe's or Homedepot sell this stuff? And I don't recall, but what is horticultural vermiculite?

sounds like that's too fine. You want it to look like this:

osh has some good stuff. Home depot should have it along with Lowe's and most nurseries. The idiots at the nursery's will sometime ask what you are using it for and try to sell you perlite.

I've never seen it at HD, but as mentioned above Lowes usually has it around. Sometimes you have to ask the people to check the stock in back and pull a box of a palette because they are too lazy to fill up the shelf right above the tag... then you can just buy the whole box, 8 bags at 8 quarts! 
It is always a fine consistency, unlike some stuff I have bought at slightly higher prices from a gardening only store which is kind of more like gravel. Not a fan.
