Silica sand is the oldest and most trusted media for sand filters. All sand is different, so don't trust just any old bag of sand. Silica is definitely the way to go. If you get number 20 silica sand, that means it will filter up to 20 micron particles (much much smaller than the human eye can see). The downfall is silica will get some algae ...

Agree. Most sands are silica sand, and some pool filter silica sand is labelled as "quartz-based", which is what I use. PFS and 'play' sands are both generally silica sands, but play sand is usually much dirtier, grittier, and dustier, finer-grained and less dense. This makes it much more difficult to clean initially, and to keep clean.

Regular sand, also known as feldspathic sand, brown sand, or construction sand, will always contain some silica, but only in amounts less than 95%. For example, typical brown sand used for concrete applications can contain up to 80% SiO2, along with varying amounts of iron, carbonate, potassium, and other trace elements/minerals.
