    Description

    Sand/bone sample collected by me from
    Bombay Beach/Salton Sea State Park in Imperial County, California
    . The photos were taken by me as well.
    Bombay Beach and the Salton Sea are
    popular destinations for people from all over the world.  The location I collected from is right on the edge of Bombay Beach and the State Park.
    There is approximately 2
    tablespoons (tbsp) or 30 milliliters (ml)
    in each 2x3 bag.
    From a distance it looks like the shore is mostly white "Sand" but upon closer inspection, the "Sand" is actually a mixture of barnacles and fish bones and scales.  The scales grow like crazy and die off all the time.  The water is so salty and not good for fish, but there are millions of fish and there are massive fish die-offs several times a year.  The shore becomes nothing but barnacles, scales and bones.
    Great purchase to add to your collection of minerals, sand, gravel, rocks, pebbles or other geological items.  Great for educational use in the classroom or school, Christmas villages, model trains, arts & crafts, ceremonial, spiritual, religious, funerals and so much more.  You can study the sand, do experiments or check the level of magnetic material in the sand.
    Check out the other sand samples in my store to see the many types of sand that exist in such a close area and from all over.
    If there is a specific location in the southern half of California that you would like samples from that are not already in my store, feel free to contact me and we can work out a deal for me to get it for you.  It can be a beach, mountain, river or any location.
    I do combine shipping costs for multiple items purchased through my store.  Normally it is the full shipping price for the highest listed shipping cost and shipping for each additional item is 50% off the listed shipping price.  If the discount is not applied at checkout, simply place your order for multiple items and request an invoice.  Then I can discount the shipping.
