DRAGONSKIN

This is sand. Sea water had eased from a tidal pool back into the vast ocean. The crosshatch silica is all that remains of that flow. Sand grains all over the World are different in size, shape and color.  Patterns found in some places cannot be recreated any where else in the World because of these characteristics. Large black volcanic grains of Hawaii are immensely different that the soft white powder sands of Pensacola Beach, FL. This is coastal Carolina sands from a favorite: Sullivan's Island.
