Sand is primarily silica particles that are virtually " ground" by the constant ebb and flow of water/tides and time acting on them.Constant crashing into rocks,shells, and other things in the oceans that are harder than the silicates reducie them to various sized particles.It should also be noted that sands from different places ( shorelines) on earth are different colours relative to the silicates found therein
