ESSAY

Sand sample #7 is basically tan and light brown with dark specks in it. The angularity of the individual particles is subangular. The entire sample is moderately sorted. The most outstanding physical characteristic of the sand is its variety in color. The sand ranges in several shades of brown and purple and it also contains clear grains like quartz. Our group also noticed that the sand appeared half light and half dark in color, so the sand is both dark and light at the same time. This sand is a very interesting blend of grain colors.
