Hi Justin,
You have a great idea there, or at least it seems that way.  Where do 
you get those black well fracturing beads?  Is there a website where 
they can be ordered?  Expensive?  I really enjoy a black sand 
substrate, but the typical black beauty type of blasting grit is so 
sharp it has caused me too much grief.  Your idea resurrected my 
interest!
