There are certain plant fibers and animal compounds that work. You can get a fine polish with a ciggarete rolling paper. Ray skin is an animal product that has a course grit. I also have natural rouge (red iron oxide) deposites on my land and all around this area, but I guess it would fall into the "sand" catagory.

Mostly Lipton tea, but there are lots of cacti in the yard when the mood strikes. Tea is much better for you than coffee.

Four cups of saguaro or prickly pear, and you'll forget who you are.

I dunno the prickly pear I've come in contact with always seems to help in locating my fingers and toes especially in the dark
