There are a lot more types than you'd think! The white sand of tropical and subtropical settings are comprised of limestone and may have coral and shell fragments. The gypsum sand dunes of the White Sands National Monument are famous for their bright white colour.

Arkose is a sandstone with lots of feldspar in it and granite rock outcrop.

Some sands have chlorite, glauconite, gypsum or magnetite.

Some sands come from volcanic basalts and obsidian.

Many sands have iron impurities within the quartz crystals of the sand, making them appear a deep yellow colour.

Some sand deposits have garnet (a type of gem) including other small gemstones.

Bet you didn't know sand was so glamorous!

How much sand does it need for a 10000 gallon pool?

To determine how much sand is needed for a 10,000-gallon pool, it depends on the type of pool and the depth of the sand layer desired. For a standard sand filter, you typically need about 1 pound of sand for every gallon of water, translating to roughly 10,000 pounds or about 5 tons of sand. However, if you're referring to a sand base for an above-ground pool, you'll need about 2-3 inches of sand, which would require around 1-2 tons of sand, depending on the pool's dimensions.
