Unknown Oahu Beach

"Here is a vial of sand from Oahu, Hawaii. I am sorry to say there are no pictures of where exactly it was located. You see my dad works for Bluefin Robotics. They make little underwater vehicle robot[s]. One of his vehicles was used in Hawaii. When it was returned to them, they found this sand in it. Very sorry about the lack of information on the sand, but I figured it was a pretty decent story." Meg K.
