The term is called glass sand on the sands of silica (quartz) that have physical and chemical specifications
commensurate with the glass industry, for example grain size, which often ranges between 100-1000 microns and the
percentage of iron oxides (Fe2O3) begins from 0.012 .silica sand founded in egypt at red sea area(zafarana)and south
