[...] Naturally Colored Sand- where to purchase Hello, I am interested in getting my hands on some naturally colored sand. The sand can be available locally in NYC, or via mailorder. I would be interested in almost any unusual color of sand so long as it is natural (deep red, black, white, B&W speckled, purple, amber, yellow, green,orange…anything but standard tan) Does anybody have any idea where I might be able to acquire such sand? Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions as to where to look. Thanks! http://www.tourismontheedge.com/best…d-beaches.html [...]
