...they don’t care who they’re buying it from....We had ~s. They are supposed to be $20 rocks....in a tin, and we’ll actually let them take out the rock that they want...San Bernardino Co CA Sheriff’s Dept Narco Det Paul Gallant

"Rock" of course, refers to a small crystal of cocaine. I get forty thousand hits on "big rock" pert cocaine but frankly don't have the patience to wade through all these hits

Can anyone elucidate

Thanks all

eta: So I understand. I think they're called crystals too. But I gained the expression that in order to be big it had to meet a certain criterion, such as street price

geodes are rocks
geodes are crystals
rocks can be crystals
(sleet and hail are ice crystals that have formed into rocks--only they have special names)

hail comes in 'pea size' and 'golf ball size'--and sometimes bigger still. (i have never seen anything much bigger than a chick pea size hail)

rocks (crylized chunks of crack cocaine) comes in different sizes too.

yes, golf ball size(big rock) is going to cost more than pea size.--there is more!
(only pea size is big for crack cocaine, most of the rocks are smaller)
