What mineral is used to make sandpaper?
Your sandpaper is graded according to the amount of abrasive particles (grit) per square inch. The six abrasive categories range from course to super fine and between them include medium, fine, very fine and extra fine. Your choices will depend on the finish you hope to achieve. These particles or categories consist of one of four minerals that make up sandpaper: aluminum oxide, garnet, ceramic (alumina zirconia) and silicon carbide.

Calcium
Why would you use garnet to make sandpaper?
Sandpaper is made with corundum because it is extremely hard (9 on the Moh's Scale of Hardness) compared to just about anything else, except diamond (which top the scale at 10). This "hardness" is basically the factor which determines what happens when scraped against another material. If the corundum in the sandpaper is harder than whatever you are rubbing it against, then it will scratch the surface. If the sandpaper is used on something harder than corundum, the sandpaper will not be able to leave abrasions. Corundum is used because there are very few materials which it will fail to scratch.
