gritty mix alternatives

The quest continues. People look at me like a space alien when I ask if they have "crushed granite" or Gran-I-Grit.

For gritty mix - having trouble finding crushed granite. I've seen other alternatives suggested - thoughts?

Perlite - could perlite be used in place of the gran-i-grit?

Gravel - As long as not limestone (would be too alkaline) I assume small pea gravel is OK?

Pumice - is this OK?

Expanded Shale?

What about VERY coarse sand? I've seen some coarse sand that looks to be mostly 1/8" - 1'4" in size...if properly rinsed to remove salts, would it work?

For the Turface - I've seen DE suggested as an alternative - does that pose any issues?
