Colored sand substrate

I I've been searching for a color sand substrate material, such as the no longer available 3M colorquartz. The only thing I found "locally" is a product called HP quartz sold by a tile store in Oklahoma City. Would anyone be interested in this product? Its quite a trip for just a bag of sand! Would anyone want to go in on a cost share? I would be willing to make the trip and pickup several bags to share with the community.
Or does anyone know of any alternative?

Make sure it's aquarium safe. I would guess that colored sand is safe, but lots of tub/tile type products have arsenic added to kill mold. It kills fish, too.

I called them, and was told they sell it for aquariums all the time.

You need to arrange to make one of our meetings in conjunction with your trip

You might get more response if you could post a link to the product colors, package sizes, etc.

I think i've found a substiture, bits a compromise but closer and cheaper. I'd still be interested in this product if i ever get my way to OC.
