Chrome sand is ground chromite, itself a naturally occurring mineral consisting of iron and chromium oxides. As an ore, chromite is the leading mineral for chromium production. As chrome sand, it is a black almost lustrous powder, it contains chromium primarily in the +3 oxidation state (and not the highly toxic +6 oxidation state).

With the notable exception of olivine, the surface chemistry of larger foundry sand particles is neutral. Very little of the highly acidic or basic sand constituents are generally found on the surface of larger grains. Most of the "strange chemical elements" of foundry sand exist in the very fine particles– those which pass a 140 mesh screen.
