Magnified Sand





This is ocean sand, magnified 250 times. Isn't it beautiful? Similar to a scrap quilt.
 It makes me want to bring a microscope to the beach. If I had a microscope, that is.

    I'm a geologist. I have seen lots of magnified inland sand, but this stuff has bits of shell and other organic stuff. Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
