I'd look into how much you can get the 3M stuff for if there is a distributor close by. If your own their website, http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/ColorQuartz/HomePage/Products/Crystals/ there is a link to distributors just select the state. They have the very smooth and small sand like S grade or the coarser angular T grade, both in white.
