Make your own set at $2.90 per tube. We currently have 13 sand types in stock. Five are shown here.

From left to right, the sands shown here are angular quartz sand from Zuma Beach, California, iridescent angular black sand from a lava flow at Kalapana, Hawaii, orange frosted-grain aeolian sand derived from the Navajo Sandstone in Utah, a heterogeneous glacial sand from Dorr Skeels Lake, Montana, and olivine sand from Hawaii.
