Silver sand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Silver sand is a fine white sand used in gardening.[1][2] It consists largely of quartz particles that are not coated with iron oxides. Iron oxides colour sand from yellows to rich browns. Silver sand is also used as a constituent of mortar for laying light coloured pavers.
