Skyflame 10Lb Silica Sand for Fire Pits and Fireplaces, Heat Proof Base Layer Decoration Under Gas Logs, Vermiculite, Lava Rock or Fire Glass for Indoor/Outdoor Decor, Gardening, Vase Filler

I use these for drainage with my potted plants. They stay loose and don't clump.

I converted a wood fireplace to natural gas and this hides all the components. With some wool and good-looking "wood" pieces, it fakes a lot of people out.

Good

The quality was good I thought it was going to be grainy sand but they were small stones which worked out better. The color was great as well added a nice Tuscan look to the fire pit. I should have ordered more than 1 bag though to gwt the full look I wanted.

This is going to sound crazy, but this sand is noisy. Specifically, if you have a pan, with a built-in tube, that distributes the gas across the underside of the logs in your gas fireplace, the sand serves the purpose of dispersing the gas into an attractive flame. What I have learned, is, the sand also serves to muffle the sound of the gas hissing out of the openings in the tube. Previously, I had used finer sand, which, muffles the sound of the escaping gas more effectively. With this particular product, which is beautiful, but significantly more coarse, the fireplace hisses significantly louder, which is a little counterproductive to a natural, relaxing experience.

Fell in love with the color rocks for my chimney, but I’m noticing that the rocks are turning black quick.

There are small sea shells mixed in with the silica sand, I cannot use this in my soil for my carnivorous plants because the shells will leach calcium into the soil. Didn't say anything in the description about being mixed with sea shells.

Good quality but very overpriced.
