CHATHAM  BEACH  , CHATHAM -  41.68N, 69.96W

I received this sample at a National Association of Geology Teacher's meeting held at Wood's Hole. It was the "special gift" they had for all participants. It is truly a beautiful sample. I've never been to Chatham, so I don't know if the sand is plentiful or if it's there anymore. The purple mineral is garnet.
