Sparkly Sand For Bottom of Vases? What's It Called Please and Where Do I Buy It?

Help!


I'm looking for the stuff that goes in the bottom of glass vases that is nice and sparkly, but for the life of me I can't find it on Ebay!

Can anyone tell me what it's called please??

Thanks

    I think you might mean glimmer sand its just a decorative sand.
    Our local qd sells coloured sands and crystals in the andles section I dont think that they have the glimmer ( its basically only a sand with glitter added )
    if you can get hold of the coloured decorative sand then make your own.
    I wouldnt use glitter though you should be able to get a hold of nail art sets at this time of year they are normally in the gift bits of wilkinsons, qd, etc the nail art glitter is a very very fine powder which gives a lovely subtle sparkle without actually looking tacky with the large glitter bits in it!
    glitter sand is here not a great pic though http://www.rista.co.uk/glimmersand.html

    if you didnt mean the sand at all the other dew drops glass gravel etc are also on the same site
