Phil,
Here is the source for Oklahoma no. 1 sand that we use in our physical modeling lab:

Subject: Where to purchase sand for analog modeling - USA
Hello All,
I am adding sandbox modeling experiments to my structural geology course this year and am struggling with where to find appropriate sand (well sorted, fine-grained).
I have seen “play sand” suggested online, but everything that passes as play sand around here is quite poorly sorted. I think perhaps the only requirement is that it is washed.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
Best,
Phil Resor
