Is frac sand a mineral

Frac sand is not classified as a mineral but rather as a type of sand used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to extract oil and natural gas. It is typically high-purity quartz sand, chosen for its strength and roundness, which allows it to withstand the pressures of fracking. While it is composed of mineral particles, particularly silica, the term "frac sand" refers to its specific application rather than its geological classification.
