"Each Grain of Sand a Tiny Work of Art"

I never thought much of sand but then i came across an article called, "Each Grain of Sand A tiny Work of Art." The title of the article is true, if you look under the microscope at sand they have amazing patterns, shapes, and colors. And depending on the environment the sand is in, it has different shapes, patterns, and colors. All the pictures in the article show different places with different sand. No one would ever except sand to look like anything but a dull little grain, but the pictures prove them wrong. Besides just looking cool, sand can be composed of things to display the history of the local area. For example, eroded mountains, volcanic explosions, dead organisms, and degraded man-made structures. There is so much more to sand that people don't know about. I know most people don't ever give it a second thought when they are walking on the beach or watching the sand glide through their hands. Next time your at the beach, just think of all the little pieces of art you are stepping on.
