Never heard of it, if it is for sand casting I use Golden sand from Burnco it is used in mortars and is very fine giving a good finish I do use vent holes in my castings though.

maybe the right name is 'chromite sand', but will have a look at the golden sand you mentioned.

I use 120 grit lane mountain sand from Target. It is fine enough to reproduce the occasional finger print.

Mike, can you describe what you are using this for? Is it for sand casting to make 'green sand', or is this for sand blasting?
