It says clearly that this is a mixture of soft and sharp sand, so of course it has stones in it. Therefore you cannot use it for finishing plaster.

I have been buying this product over decades.
A very important part of Brick wall building.
I can thoroughly recommend the best quality sand for the mix.
And do not be afraid to use plenty on doing the task in hand properly.
Not all sand is top notch quality. I buy from Travis Perkins because I know its excellent material.

Bags have ranged from a few handfuls of stones to being full of stones. Liveable on the scratch coat, but diabolical on the finish coat. Spend more time picking stones out than floating the finish coat. Wherever it's coming from, their sand screens are in dire need of maintenance.

Used in a lime render mix , good apart from a handful of small stone across the eight bags .
An ideal salt for de-icing as well preventing ice and snow build-up on roads, driveways, and paths. It can be mixed with sand to improve vehicle traction in slippery conditions.
The Grano dust trade pack can be used for a variety of construction purposes, including as a sublayer before laying concrete or a hard standing area that not only provides a flat surface but also acts as a hardwearing support to the top layers. When this aggregate is mixed with sand and cement, it produces a mortar ideally suited for floor screeds.
This bulk bag of 10mm gravel and shingle consists of small stones that are ideal for mixing with other products when concreting and floor screeding. Other uses include backfilling drains and landscaping tasks. It is recommended that the 20mm version or one of the decorative aggregates is used for driveways and paths as the small stones can be brought inside on footwear.
