	Black sand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Black sand is a heavy, glossy, partly magnetic mixture of usually fine sands, found as part of a placer deposit.

		Black sand concentrates often contain additional valuables, other than precious metals: rare earth elements, thorium, titanium, tungsten, zirconium and others are often fractionated during igneous processes into a common mineral-suite that becomes fl sands after weathering and erosion.

		PUNALUU, Hawaii -- More than 100 endangered baby sea turtles hatched last weekend from a nest on Punaluu's fl sand beach, where a female Hawaiian hawksbill turtle known by the tag "60M" laid her eggs in July.
		Although the fl sand beach is known for its Hawaiian green sea turtles, those turtles prefer to swim the hundreds of miles to French Frigate Shoals in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands to nest.
		The turtle that nested July 9 and left 184 eggs at Punaluu was first tagged by volunteers from the national park's turtle program in 1996 when she nested at Kamehame, a beach north of Punaluu that recently has become the most common nesting site for hawksbills.
