I just picked up a 100# bag of Masonry sand, that sounds an awfully lot like what you are describing. It is the consistency of white sugar. I'm working on a decent supply of Bentonite, or Bentone if I can locate some, and hopefully get started casting soon!!

There's something at Ace Hardware and it's extremely fine and uniform in
grain size. I've just seen it this past year. It runs around $10 for
50 pounds. I think that it also is marketed as play sand. Can't swear to it. It looks like granulated sugar, almost perfectly white.

Randy, I've done castings with play sand. Chris Bailey uses it,
and I used his. I've got the materials to make my own, just need to
that round 'tuit.
Works well. I can post a pic of the items I've cast with it, if you'd
like, or PM them to you. Decent but not spectacularly good surface
finish.
