Features

  • REAL LAVA SAND: This is literally the only actual lava sand for sale on the internet. All other lava sand you will find is actually crushed scoria, a pumice-like lava rock used in landscaping. It has no ability to hold a temperature like this lava sand can.
  • RETAINS HEAT WELL: One of lava sands attractive qualities is that it retains heat very well. Many people use this sand in heating pads or ice packs.
  • MANY USES: Lava sand can be used for crafts. Lava sand is fantastic for homemade exfoliating soaps. It can also be used in sand art, hourglass, or a mini zen garden. It is great for aquariums and especially for heating pads.
  • FINE GRAIN AND CLEAN: This lava sand is not gravel. It is real sand in a fine grain. This lava sand has been screened, washed, dried, and sanitized.
  • SCOURCED AND PACKAGED IN THE USA: This lava sand is sourced from an ancient black lava sand beach from a dried-up prehistoric lake. It is NOT sourced in Hawaii or Iceland.

  • Bought for microwaveable warming packs
Great alternative to rice and wheat berries. No smell, holds warmth for a long time.

  • Pricy, but works
I wanted this to make a heating pack. I make typically make them with flax seed but the smell gets to me after awhile so I wanted to try this sand. Pros: I purchased this b/c it is supposed to be better for retaining heat and have no smell. It does retain heat well. It is Packaged well. Cons: it is expensive for 3.5 pounds. The pillow is small! I would love to see a bigger back at a better price. I would love to make these for family and friends but the price will not allow me to do that. Overall I am happy with what I made with it. ... show more

  • Lava sand
Perfect for my small project

  • Average sand, astronomical price
After reading all the hype, I expected soooo much more. I opened it immediately, and put it in a glass cup with another cup of water next to it per instructions. I microwaved it 3 minutes and it was barely warm. So I went another 2 minutes. Sand was moderately warm, (about as warm as if I put my rice bag in for 1 min instead of the 2 I usually do) but the glass cup the sand was in was scalding after those 5 min. I needed hot pads to get the cup out of the microwave, but could pour the sand directly in my hand and it was comfortable. I thought, maybe since it took so long to heat, it would cool equally slow. So I checked it every 5 min. It cooled much faster than my regular rice bag. I am disappointed on both points. They were accurate on one thing though, it has no odor. ... show more

  • Pricey but really nice!
There are so many uses for good lava sand like this that I had difficulty deciding what to do with it. I made a small heating pad and it retained heat well for that. It also added weight which felt really good. I saved some for art/craft projects since I love working with texture. The fact that this has been washed, sifted and sanitized is awesome and makes working (or planning to) with this so much easier. ... show more

  • Great for crafting
This Lava Sand is an excellent choice for crafts, heating pads, cooling pads, and aquariums. It is screened, washed, dried, and sanitized, ensuring cleanliness and safety. The 3 lb bag is the perfect size for a variety of projects. Compared to other sands, This Lava Sand has many advantages. It is cleaner than some others, and free of dust and dirt. It holds its shape when wet, making it ideal for making shapes and crafts, as well as providing a stable base for aquariums. The sand is also heated and dried, making it safe to use in heating and cooling pads. The price of this Lava Sand is also quite reasonable. It is competitively priced compared to other sands, making it a cost-effective choice. The 3 lb bag is enough for a variety of projects, making it a great value. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Woo woo use
Off label alternative use working out perfectly for me

  • Expensive but you can tell it is high quality lava sand
I have always wanted to try lava sand in my aquarium and when I saw this I ordered it. I removed the fish to an empty breeding tank, cleaned the 20-gallon tank, and first I washed the lava sand with spring water. I strained it and started laying it on the bottom of the tank. Three pounds barely covered the bottom. I figured out I need about 10 pounds to get a good cover so I told my kids to order me the 15-pound bag of this brand which cost $119.99 for my Mother's Day gift. I just haven't had time this past week to finish laying down the sand and redecorating the tank. But I really like this lava sand as it feels good and it says this is a rare type. I am also going to figure out what type of heating pad I need so I can see how it feels heated on sore joints. ... show more
