Garnet sand. Which one?

It's very cool that he was able to help you out. I feel that it's not the best possible representation but it should give you a better idea. I prefer the bengal still.
That bengal is very nice. I'm going to hit the phones tomorrow and see if there is a distribution center near me.
I think that's a combination of lighting and dust. (at least I hope)
The examples in the pictures are 80 grit. I'll be getting 16 grit.
Update from the rep. Can anyone weigh in?
"I would be concerned with the high levels (0.2 – 0.8%) of Manganese in this product which could be toxic to fish if it’s leachable. The Galaxy Garnet material is a water filtration grade, and thus this would not be an issue. With the Galaxy Garnet, I do have some concerns with the Feldspar, which could harm some breeds of fish depending on origin, and tolerances. Have you any prior experience with using Garnet in Fish Tanks that would tell us otherwise? I would hate for you to harm any expensive breeds with these products. I would say that Galaxy Garnet is likely the safest, but we cannot guarantee that this will not harm your fish."

Well manganese is toxic to fish. Apparently at levels greater than 1.9 mg/L. I'd be adding up to 1kg to my 1300L system.
NOT WORTH THE RISK.
Time to find a different option
