pretty sure it's same everywhere in world, you have it either powdered (flour like), granulated (salt like, but slightly bigger) or in cubes

oh well and then there is China from what I remember, where they sell something like quite big rocks even in regular supermarkets, unseen in Europe



Depends on where in Europe. You can certainly find rock sugar/lump sugar in supermarkets in, say, Germany (where it's called "Kandiszucker"), whereas in the UK you're likely to have more success in small ethnic shops.


yeah, but those are rocks with basically same size as cubes/dices, while in China you can find proper rocks like 10+ cm or bigger
