I had heard of someone that collects grains of sand like we collect rocks. It sure solves the storage problem. It would reduce my collection down to a shot glass. They would be tough to work on the cab machine and the stick pin dop stick would be tricky. Jim

Thanks for the post, interesting to see, and read. If quantum physics is the study of things very small, could this be quantum lapidary? Larry

Had a buddy with a geology degree and one of his tests was to identify where an 'unknown' sand came from.
