I see it for $50 per pound on Ebay. Where do you get it?

$9.00 for a 3-oz. jar from Micro Surface. Here's the Yellow grade. The others should be selectable from the choices on the webpage.

IIRC, it's mostly silica or glass, at least for the hard (green) version made for ferrous metals. If you remember engine valve lapping compounds from 50 or more years ago, they were ground glass for the same reason. It resists embedding in cast iron valve seats.
