Interesting question .. having lived on/near the Ocean for most of my life and directly collecting my own sand - I suspect I know whats in my Ocean sand alot more than you know whats in the sand you purchased at your store. Never have understood why people believe that sand that has been placed in a bag somehow has become better than the sand was immediately before it was placed into the bag. Do you know where your sand came from? Do you think they somehow "purify" your sand or immaculately clean those big loaders they use to move the sand around prior to bagging? Do you have any clue on where you sand is collected, how it is treated, bagged etc.
Not trying to be offensive but this "theme" is often repeated on this and other forums by people who somehow think that everything that comes from the Ocean is polluted ... not giving a second thought to where the sand they paid big bucks for comes from.
