Oh awesome, amro! Good thinking.

Makes sense! They're highly polished pieces of glass and mineral deposits.

Very, very cool pix.

There was someone on flickr who had a great sand collection photographed. I think people were sending him sand samples from around the world.

I'll never look at a beach in the same way.

Oooh. I did not realize this about sand. If I get to go to the beach next month, I will definitely give this a try with my microscope.
