We could easily pick up sand grains using magnets as kids and spent quite a bit of time collecting samples. It was fascinating to us that this was possible to do with sand. The deposits showed no tendency to turn brown over time despite being in the Midwest with plenty of rains over the summers. | |

| Aug 4, 2022 at 2:58 | comment | added | DKNguyen | Black rust is formed in low moisture low oxygen environments. That means it is slowly forms under what we would usually consider conditions where rust would not be prone to develop. That makes things tricky. It's considered the "good" kind of rust. I would think it would only be a transitional stage since it's probably not going to be replenished with the same black sand. | |
