Do you know there are beaches with star-shaped sand? (1 Viewer)

[athenaaa]

Okinawa, particularly islands like Taketomi and Iriomote, are known for their unique "star sand" beaches, where the sand is composed of tiny, star-shaped grains that are the exoskeletons of microscopic marine organisms called foraminifera. These star-shaped grains are the shells of microscopic organisms called foraminifera. In Japanese mythology, these grains are said to be the descendants of stars that fell from the sky and landed in the sea of Okinawa.
