This is a great question, because the answer isn't literal, but metaphorical, and one of the best lines in the story.

He said that the mirror he found her in might have been "made of (from?) the pure sand of dreams"

I'm sure one of us is right. Now let's see who... Ralphie?

An interesting contrast in answers, IS. The literal ingredients answer versus the literal quotation from Geraden.

When it comes to which of us is right, I'm betting on YOU all the way, Sanity!

(That's partly because you have a proven strong memory for the Mordant's Need story, and partly because Ralphie DID frame his question around something Geraden said.)

What say you, Ralphie? Isn't IrrationalSanity the clear winner, here?
