that's just depressing.
All the play sand is silica based......I did find a bag of Pavestone pool filter sand, and it looked nice, but there was no mention of aragonite or silica on the bag anywhere.
It probably won't say aragonite or silica on it. If you can find out what it is made from, limestone or marble should be ok. Or if you can get a sample, put some white vinegar on it and see if it bubbles.
