Pretty but question authenticity of beach sand

Maybe I'm too harsh, but I requested Crescent Beach, Siesta Key sand. The sand at Crescent Beach is white quartz. Sand in ornament is exactly as pictured in catalog ... not white. Wouldn't normally be a big deal, but the double hit of Helene and Milton and loss of my condo made it particularly important to have some authentic beach sand.
