Sand has been around since the beginning of time and man has used it for everything from gardens to Sky Scrappers! When you say sand you think brown but it comes in many colors and shapes! From the see to the center of the earth the sand is spewed all over this land!
Even the salmon in the rivers have their parts mixed in the river sands that made the huge vegetation that made this country rich in fertile soils. The sea has sands of all colors from white to black!
Even the volcanos produce types of sand! The great lakes areas sell sands of all types!
I would like to know where I can buy some of these sands with lots of good mixes for plants?
Here is a nice link worth reading that tells you about sand that you never heard of!
On this link click on sand types I was impressed!

Have you seen some of the magnified images of sand? It is beautiful!

This is presumably beach sand with little bits of shell and sea creature remains. Desert sand might look different.
