Actually the pure white sand found in the Santa Cruz mountains are
shipped over a mountain for two reasons.

1. - replace sand on the beaches of Hawaii. Been that way since the 40's.
2. - shipped to the central valley of Ca. to a glass company - making glass for
fruits. And glass for pure needs.

When you start out with clean SiO2 without iron or copper or ..... feldspars mixed in -
it is worth a high value for unique needs. Normal beach sand is tan, brown, black.
This was white. Rather unique.

I guess we've resolved your error in thinking that ALL rocks have a
crystalline structure. LOL

"You are thinking of glass?"
Is glass a rock?


Cliff:

Are you trying to claim that pumice, obsidian, and scoria, are NOT
forms of igneous rock? LMAO!
Quit wasting my time with your nonsensical trolling.
