White Sand

White sand is a type of granular material primarily composed of tiny mineral or broken shell fragments that reflect light, giving it a bright, white appearance. It commonly forms through the erosion and weathering of rocks such as quartz or limestone, which are resistant to decay. Found on beaches, deserts, and sometimes inland areas, white sand influences the aesthetic and ecological aspects of its environment. Its mineral composition and purity contribute to its distinctive color and texture, making it popular for construction, landscaping, and decorative purposes.
