Any good commercial supply house will carry a few basic colors. A good roofer uses it to sprinkle on the hot tar that oozes at the edge of the modified bitumen sheets.
Aquarium store.
My understanding is that most of it is mined by GAF in Belle Mead, NJ

Not sure what you need them for or how much you need, but if it's to cover small spots on your existing shingle roof you can usually find a small amount in your gutters. If you find a large amount, clean your gutters more often and/or start thinking about a new roof.
