Yesterday I have received from a trade partner a series of nice sands from Austria, mostly areas around Salzburg and Tirol. The sands are from mountain and, as it was written on the bags, they contain a mixture of quartz, gneis, mica, feldspat and some other elements. The sand has a nice metalic shining under direct light. I have photographed only the sample 1595 AT-SZ but there are some more similar samples to follow (see also the photo gallery).
