Abstract
The ultimate disintegration product of a rock or a mineral
is generally known as sand. Particles finer than !~ in diameter
are classed as sand for most of the practical purposes. Sands
may be composed of particles of a single mineral or of a mixture
of many minerals. Sands are as a rule represented predominantly
by quartz, generally associated with silicate mineraL<> and sometimes
with different ferrous and non-ferrous minerals. ['!'he
mostly used Indian name of sand is "Balu", which derives its
origin from Sanskrit Word "Balukana" which means sand.]
