I'm afraid to even ask this question, because of the environmental implications, but are there chemical alternatives to sand?

Crystals of silicon dioxide. Heard they're easy to mine from these places called the beach.

You know beaches have been know to get stolen and sand is a finite resource on the shore? Having a dump truck with sand waiting at each firestation doesnt seem like a solution.

How about desert sand? I understand it's too fine to be useful in the construction business, unsure about the composition though.
