Well, you don't "HAVE" to use certain types of rock - but some are better suited than others.

Rocks which crack can potentially be dangerous to the handler, but will still get the water to boil.

From the article, granite is one of the worst - has fine cracks/pores which cause cracking from steam expansion. The best of the ones tested was basalt.
