    I really enjoyed seeing those photographs of individual sand grains.
    I am glad that you posted this.

    That's amazing, all those tiny bits of color, fossils and crystals.

    I just sent the link to my oldest daughter who teaches 6th and 7th grade science and includes a section on Geology each year.

    The world of the very small is fascinating to explore. There are always surprises.
    I spent 20 years with my eyes in a microscope and was always amazed with what I saw.
