Beautiful and amazing! Looks like a little rock collection, which I guess it actually is 🙂

I always thought sand was like salt or sugar. You can always learn something new. 🙂

  You are so right. Who knew that under a microscope sand would resemble a drawer full of beads? I love the tiny, spiral shells and those little bits of what looks like coral.

  Yes, awesome! I wish I could take the credit for this photo, but I reblogged it from Tuesday’s post by friend and fellow blogger Jessica Slavin (http://jessicaslavin.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/994867_638109806210034_1779419702_n-jpg/). I’ve never seen anything like this before. Who knew that sand could be so cool?
