ESSAY

Sand sample #28 is from hermit island Maine. The sample was moderately sorted, and the pieces of Sand were very angular but very fine. In the sample we found Quartz, Hornblende, and white mica. The most outstanding physical characteristic of the sand was it sparkles. The sparkles are the white mica. It blends nicely with the contrasting dark color of the hornblende, giving a very fine and nice texture.
