Southdown and YardRight aren't available anymore.
OldCastle purchased them years ago.

I've read that OldCastle doesn't even sell the aragonite caribbean play sand anymore.
Supposedly their supplier in the caribbean went out of business, but who can tell with all the internet rumors?

The stuff they sell now is KolorScape white play sand.
I've seen it on the web available at True Value Hardware.
I have no idea if it is quartz or calcium based.

Maybe if someone lives near a True Value they could go pickup a bag and check it out for us.
It should be easy to tell with a vinegar test and a macro photo of the grains.
If they are round grained and bubble in vinegar, then they're oolitic calcium based sand and we can all stop searching.
