All sand is silica sand. sand is silicon dioxide, what you want to look out for is that yes, play sand is silica sand but only the light brown sand colored sand, the white type is crushed limestone. I think its limestone, but bottom line is the white stuff isn't silica sand and is worthless in a refractory.
