Magnified Sand — "Explore the Hidden World of Sand"





















From the website

..................................

Under microscopic magnification, the unique beauty and individual character of sand grains reveal a diverse origin reflecting geological history and marine life biodiversity.

Sand is everywhere on earth — on our beaches, in our deserts, and on the bottoms of lakes, rivers, and oceans.













Sand particles are coarser than silt but finer than gravel, ranging in size from 0.02 to 2 mm.

They are created when weather and chemicals break down terrestrial rocks, minerals, marine bivalves, corals, mollusks, bryzoans, and foraminifera.

Wait a sec — what's that song I'm hearing?
