I use rocks from a stream that runs through a park near my job. I wash them in hot soapy bleach water, then rinse very well then boil 2-3 times for about 45 min. no problems to date. In fact i was just rock hunting for my 125.
Limestone will make your tank alkaline. So, if that's what your fish like...go for it.
You can't put just "any" rocks in your tank. The colloquial rock may contain different forms of copper, lead, mercury, iron, arsenic, molybdenum, sulphur, asbestos, etc. If you're unsure, take the rock to a state geologist or the museum and find out what's in a rock before putting it in a tank. Even cleaning some rocks can cause the release of detrimental materials into your household.
For the most part, you're OK with granites, agates, and quartz. But, as with everything else, do the research before adding anything to your tanks.

Yes you can put almost any kind of rock in your tank, but remember just to clean it first, and try not to use one that its composition its full of minerals, like the ones that comes from Mines.
