No matter what kind of sand you get, I recomend putting a few drops of
concentrated muriatic acid (HCL) on a sample and look for a reaction
(foaming). If you get one, DO NOT USE THIS SAND! this indicates the
presense of bicarbinate or limestone. I never take anyones word that the
product is pure unless I test it. There are too many variables in
packaging and handling where impurities can contaminate the product. If
it comes up positive then I use it for to mix with concrete or other
household uses. After all, we aren't dealing with a food product here
