The most common metalloid elements (those behaving between the metals and non-metals) are: B, Si, Ge, Te, As, & Sb. Of these common ones only Si (silicon) occurs in sand, quartz (Silicon dioxide), granite (feldspar + quartz + mica), feldspar (alumino silicate), and clay (oxidized alumino silicate.) So the answer is Silicon.
