    Presumably not blunt sand.
    The sand you can get from a DIY store and doesn't cost a lot.

      How can you tell if it's been suitably sharpened though? What if you pick up a bag that's been mishandled and has gone blunt as a consequence?

        it has small sharp stones 2-3 mm mixed in rather than being totally granular. Means it sets more like concrete than mortar. I assume they want the small stones to prevent it being washed away.
