Greetings, Fellow Sand Hole Diggers And Other Miners Of Rare Stuff!



<br>

Sharing a series of recently made photographs of pieces of favorite matter. The one and only, the cool and awesome, the...well just some sand. But in rare black. Unless you're from a volcanic island or something. Then it can be common black.

In our case, though, not volcanic origin. It could be iron ore or some other ore... Let's check it out! Yeah, it turns out that my semi-conscious memories are true.

<br>

Rare, still. And I, among other humans, am a fan of rare things and I can certainly appreciate black versions of... whatever.

Why is it the color of wealth, otherwise? As in Black Rock, Black Stone, Black Sand.

I think Black Sand might be free so I might just take it. I sure as black hell would like to take this beach home. The whole of it? Yeah. It's quite what I like about a beach. Extra nice pebbles do also grow there. It's a good thing we have ways to visually bring pieces of natural treasure with us.

Why does it invoke the desire to own some of it in the first place? Oh, it doesn't? What's wrong with your values and judgement, then?

Peace and Beauty!

Yours, in black,

Manol
