This “sand” is actually not sand at all. Rather than rock fragments, it is made of tiny, star-shaped exoskeletons.
Each piece is a exoskeleton of a tiny sea creature from the Foraminifera group. These amoeba-like organisms have existed for about 542 million years, and over 50,000 species are known.
Their innumerable remains can be found

Great product love being able to show them off and show everyone very small fossils many people don’t know exist.

I’m so happy
I’m super excited with this purchase, the sand pieces are smaller than I thought which is perfect for my project!
