Just make sure you get the Oolitic sand and not just beach sand.  Also don't collect from any of the public beaches on the GSL.  Much of that sand was trucked in and is therefore illegal to collect.  The stuff Mark collects is not anywhere near waters edge.]]> Sun, 25 Sep 2005 14:52:24 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8304&PID=79151&title=can-i-use-sand-from-the-gsl#79151 <![CDATA[CAN I USE SAND FROM THE GSL? : And I always have a barrel of...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8304&PID=79144&title=can-i-use-sand-from-the-gsl#79144 Author: Mark Peterson

And I always have a barrel of it at my place.

This link may help you understand Oolitic sand:

The location that link refers to was exactly on the other side of the road from where we now collect. A football sized area of sand dunes was removed, probably by Broken Arrow Salt. I drove out there one day and it was gone. It felt like an episode of Star Trek TNG where the Cystalline Entity removed a city and left a hole.
