The closest stab I can take at it is in or around Vancouver -- I can ask my Vancouver friends if you want more details.
Maybe I've always been here.
Early ,'Objects In Space'
Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IIRC, there's a yellow-sand quarry in that area, that Stargate used specifically so they could save on SFX. But I don't know the name of it or anything!

you can call me bob.
I figured it was in Vancouver considering which shows I've seen it on. Yellow-sand quarry? Just yellow-sand? I mean, where the heck does yellow-sand come from and why in the world would you mine or quarry or whatever it? It's does look cool on TV - I'll give them that.

Softer than Kristen Kreuk? I didn't think that was possible.
Well, she's made out of plastic. I suppose it could be soft plastic, but...

Are you saying that instead of an actress, they cast a Real Doll prototype?

It's a remora, dimwit.
KK looks more slippery than soft, the poreless freak. Maybe her skin produces some uber-Photo-Finish as a top protective layer.

Which only reinforces the "made of silicon" theory.

Sulfur. (Edit: Just at a guess)
From what I can determine from my web searches, sulphur is it. Apparently there are some yellow-sulphur-sand dunes around Vancouver as well. Whew-iie! I'm sure those were some happy people after filming. Sulphur, Oklahoma is near where I grew up and there is a state park there with some great swimming holes if you can deal with the smell. The name is literal.

All is well that ends in pizza.
In one episode of Highlander, there was a swordfight and quickening at a sulfer mine. Big yellow piles of the stuff.
