The chemical compositions and particle size distribution of Latvian minefields Bale and Skudra were observed. It is shown that Latvian sands usability for glass industry could be specified after sand enrichment, i.,e., improving of chemical composition and particle size distribution. The main requirement for sand, foreseen for building and metal industry, are particle size and its distribution; but chemical composition is not so important. Therefore, mainly, Latvian quartz side mines with SiO2<98% is useful for building industry.
