Silica sand

Silica sand is a type of fine, granular mineral composed mainly of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). It is naturally occurring and often found in beaches, riverbeds, and deserts. Because of its durability, high melting point, and chemical inertness, silica sand is widely used in manufacturing, construction, and glass-making. It provides a consistent, clean, and stable raw material essential for producing glass, concrete, and various industrial products. Its size and purity are important for many applications, making silica sand a versatile and valuable mineral resource across multiple industries.
