Doubtful that you can get it up here. It's calcium based sand. Don't know how they get it but I'd imagine its excavated from somewhere in the carribean; florida at a minimum. The geology of this area is not all that rich in calcium.

Calfo had a truck load of it brought in to Philadelphia a few years ago. It can be done. Don't know the cost.

It does originate in the Caribbean.
