I'm casting some conrete lanterns and would like to add granite chips/dust
to the mixture, where can I find this stuff? I've checked the obvious places
lowes, stone cutters, stone supply places.

thanks

Go to Home Depot(or lowes) and buy a couple granite tiles and smash um up
with a hammer...See if they have any broken ones ... they might give them to
you..

Try and find someone that does terrazzo work. Technically terrazzo is made
with marble chips, but it sounds like it would work for your project.

Certain landscape supply places sell what they call "crushed granite gravel"
by the yard.
Here in Houston, we would use an outfit called "Enviornmental Landscape
Services".
The stuff is great for paths. It compacts into a fairly firm but yielding
surface, drains well and can be re-graded easily.
