Description
Noted for its even-textured grain, the sand is made largely from quartz dumped by glaciers from Canada. Long after the ice departed, wind swept the sand grains together to form dunes as high as four-story buildings. The dunes mingle with grass and forests and stretch for miles along freshwater beaches.The Great Lakes sand also has special qualities. Unlike the gypsum sand of New Mexico or the calcite sand in Bermuda, Great Lakes sand slips cleanly through the fingers, like silk.
