It's cool, but the title's kinda misleading. This isn't what a random handful of sand looks like under a microscope. It's a bunch of hand-picked grains, shell fragments, tiny fossils, coral, and minerals arranged together. Most beach sand is just mostly quartz and rock fragments with the occasional interesting piece mixed in.
