Best Answer

It depends on where you live and whether or not you are only counting naturally occurring grains. Sand can have quartz, magnetite, olivine, feldspar, obsidian, pieces of coral, shells, or dead sea organisms. You can look up the components of your local sand on sites like "Sands of the World" (Google search "sands of the world" -top entry).
