All sorts of sands are mined throughout the world, including the very abundant silica sand. Once the sand is mined it is often washed with water to remove salt, silt, clay, dust and powder. Sand also is often separated and classified according to size as it gets washed. Washed sand comes in coarse, medium, fine and ultra fine granule sizes, of which each size classification requires sand granules that are within a specific diameter range. Whatever the size, washed sand isn39t necessarily silica sand, and silica sand isn39t necessarily washed.
