The two sands i chose to compare were Maui and Hampton beach. Maui is part of Hawaii and i have never seen the sand before until under a microscope. Hampton and Maui both do not have magnitite and they are both different colors. Maui are little rocks that are red, and orange. and Hampton is a tan and pink color. They both are very well sorted but Maui is a little more sorted.
