black sand?

[evil Nick]

So I know I can go buy play sand cheap but its always "sand color" is there a way to get some cheap black sand? I cant seem to find black play sand and not sure if there are any other suitable materials like sand?
thanks.

i was reading on blasting sand but people on other forums were saying that it is sometimes made with wierd metals and such that can be toxic. Do you guys have experiance using it?

Its just coal slag. Its inert and environmentally friendly. No I'll side effects I have ever witnessed. Doesn't damage Cory barbels like people always ask. Best bang for the buck by far

They have two different types of grit. Usually "medium" and "fine". I always go for the medium grade.
