Treehugger: "Star sand shows nature's exquisite attention to detail." The legend on Japan’s Iriomote Island is that the unique particles of sand are the children of the North Star and Southern Cross. "The descendants of the stars fell from the sky into the ocean of Okinawa, where they were killed by a sea serpent and remain as beautiful star-shaped grains of sand scattered across the beach." The Japanese term for the sand is “hoshizuna.” Science takes over with an explanation but perhaps takes away a bit of the magic. The grains or clasts of "sand" are actually the tiny shells of an ocean-dwelling one-celled protozoan called Baclogypsina sphaerulata, which have armlets to assist them in mobility + storing food. The tide washes them ashore. The star sand particles are of course mixed in with the more mundane, granular particles of sand. Sandstones are clastic sedimentary rock + comprise 20-25% of sedimentary rocks. Most of these grains are quartz or feldspar, which are both silicates, because these are the minerals most resistant to weathering processes at the Earth's surface. Presumptively one could make a tiny necklace for a seahorse from star sand. Let your imagination run riot.   #sandclasts    #starsand

吉岡里帆、「日本のオードリー・ヘプバーン」の評価にテレ顔　映画『STAR SAND −星砂物語−』初日舞台あいさつpart2 https://www.wacoca.com/videos/1771829/gravure-idols/

#STARSAND−星砂物語− #吉岡里帆 #映画

Ach ja, ich bin #Dysmantle immer noch komplett verfallen & so blieb #Starsand leider etwas auf der Strecke ... 🤪

Aber ich habe schon mal eine kleine Base gebaut, mich in der Nähe umgesehen, Aliens bekämpft, Beete angelegt & kann sogar ein Dromedar mein eigen nennen ... 🥰

Es geht also voran, langsam zwar, aber es geht voran ... 😎

Die einwöchige Gamingzwangspause ist mit dem Abklingen des Grippalen Infekts vorbei ... 🤧

Also raus aus dem Bett & ab in die Wüste ... 🥵

Mal schauen, wie schwer #Starsand ist & wie weit ich kommen werde ... 😎
