Sand is ultimately a much safer option than stone dust for paving projects. However, this is not a black-or-white issue. You may choose to use stone dust if you have a large supply of it, or prefer the texture and appearance of it. Before settling on stone dust, just be aware that you may face shifting or other issues caused by the material's ...

The addition of granite dust leads to an increase in the average density of concrete. Due to the partial replacement of sand with dust, the microstructure of the cement matrix is compacted, which is the main reason for increasing the strength of concrete with dust. Granite dust has a positive effect on both the early and grade strength of ...

The only reason for recommending sharp sand over granite or limestone dust comes down purely to cost. Per ton, sharp sand is slightly cheaper than limestone or granite dust. However, there are problems with using sharp sand. Firstly, artificial grass has perforations in the latex backing that allow water to drain through the artificial grass.

Crusher dust has been put through an artificial refinement process to crush—or break down—the larger chunks of rock. The result is a grey, finely ground powder or dust-like aggregate (hence the name). Crusher dust goes by several other names, such as cracker dust, quarry sand, stone dust, stone screenings, or rock dust. How is Crusher Dust ...

This is very old, but for those who might be searching. The question was on the SAND, not the pavers. My understanding is they are so close that you let the cost determine what you use. For some areas (e.g. California) if you are replacing a lawn, you are not supposed to use decomposed granite. I think it is less porous.

The sand - "concrete sand" is where the interlock takes place - it comes up and fills the joints causing them to lock up. Stone dust will only get hard "under" the pavers and actually hold water, which is another issue. Use concrete sand and only 3/4" under the pavers.
