Sands

Our pebble processing operation also yields both fine and coarse quartz sands.

Austone fine quartz sand is highly sought after for the production of concrete and masonry products, it’s washed, well sorted and processed clean of vegetation. Comprised mostly of robust quartz grains below 0.6mm which are classified as sub angular to sub rounded sphericity, it’s hard, strong and durable. Due to the high quartz content, it also has a low potential for alkali silica reactivity and alkali carbonate reactivity.

Austone coarse quartz sand is popular for use in landscape soil and garden mix products where it is often combined with organic materials and soil. It’s washed, well sorted and processed clean of vegetation. Comprised mostly of robust quartz grains above 1.0mm which are classified as sub angular to sub rounded sphericity, it’s hard, strong and durable.

Available sizes: Fine sand, coarse sand
