Not all silica sands can be used for hydrofracking. To meet the industry specifications, frac sand needs to be nearly pure quartz, very well rounded, and must meet tight size gradation standards. The sand must also have a high compressive strength, generally between 6,000 psi and 14,000 psi. Sands that meet these specifications are mined from

Silica Sand is quartz that has been broken down into tiny granules over time, through the work of water and wind. In open pit operations, silica sand deposits are most commonly surface-mined, but dredging and underground mining are also used. The silica sand market is segmented by end-user industry and geography.

Silica sand, also known as quartz sand, white sand, or industrial sand, is made up of two main elements: silica and oxygen. Specifically, silica sand is made up of silicon dioxide (SiO2). The most common form of SiO2 is quartz – a chemically inert and relatively hard mineral. SiO2 grades at a 7 out of 10 on Mohs hardness scale, making it

Silica is the common name for silicon dioxide, a white or colorless compound found naturally in sand, granite and many other types of rock. Quartz is the most common form of silica and is the second most common mineral in the earth''s surface. Since it is so abundant, quartz is present in nearly all mining operations.
