Description: 1.5 lbs (approx 680g) = 24 oz Star Sand Beach Sand sample from Okinawa, JapanLIMITED OFFER! This is 100% natural so pieces of seashells and corals, dried seaweeds, broken star sand, natural beach sand, etc are mixed in the package and it smells like sea water (not a pleasant smell for most people!). Each piece of star-shaped grain is very tiny(about 1-2mm). Please do not expect to receive "ONLY" star-shaped grains in it. We are trying very hard to sort out as many star-shaped grains as possible by using a strainer, but perfect star-shaped ones are like less than 30% of it. It also includes some sun sand (Calcarina).What is star sand? Star sand is a biogenic sand made of skeletons of tiny, mono-celled sea creatures belonging to the foraminifera group. This type of sand can be found at the very limited area in the world. It is said that the star sand brings happiness, so many people keep the sand as lucky charms. We are delighted to offer star sand collected from the pristine Hatoma Island in Okinawa. Once a year, the school children of Hatoma Elementary and Middle School, consisting of only 13 students on the island, along with their parents, teachers, and community members, gather the star sand to raise funds for school activities through its sale.Following the sand collection, a meticulous process unfolds. Over the course of a month, the sand is thoroughly washed, sun-dried, and meticulously sorted to isolate the enchanting star-shaped grains.***Please be aware that picking up the sand by yourself is strictly prohibited unless you have the proper authorization.
