Should I be concerned? Black sand?

[twin77]

I just purchased a magnetic glass cleaner and noticed my sand/rock are magnetized to the magnet. Are there metals in my sand/rock? Do I need to be concerned?

If you had collected the sand yourself from a river or lake then you might be concerned. Nature's Ocean has been around for many years and would know better than to sell sand containing harmful iron. All of these glass cleaners will pick up sand(any kind of sand) if you get them close to the sand bed. Always before cleaning check for this sand and use a toothbrush or something similar to remove every grain of sand from the cleaner pad, otherwise you will scratch up the glass.

Yes. Use caution.

Keep your magnet about an inch off the floor near the sand. As said above. Be aware or you will destroy your glass.

Yes. Use caution.

Agreed. I would not use sand that is magnetic. Many black sands are. Not all are.
