I found a place where I can get white sand for a DSB and I was wondering if this stuff was good to use.

Lane Mountain Silica Sand
Available is 6 grades
Grane Shape: Angular
Bulk Density 88-98lb/ft3
Specific Gravity 2.2-2.5

Silica 99.56%
Aluminum Oxide: 0.24%
Iron Oxide: 0.042%
Calcium oxide: 0.0051%
Magnesium oxide: 0.0079
Titanium dioxide: 0.016%

Is it ok to have these metals in the sand?

Particles vary in size from 1.70mm - 75 micometers

What size is ideal?
