Sam,<
> I looked into black sand a while ago. There is a place near the airport that sells it. It''s called Illmenite and is around $10 for a 25kg bag. They are in the yellow pages. <

>Be careful where you buy it from however as it does have a radioactive content to it. I spoke to the blokes from the place above and they filter their Illmenite so it has the radioactive content of normal white sand. Hope this helps.<
