Summary

Description

Greensand, dug from my backyard, which at one point was on the ocean floor...and at a point in the future will return to that state. Our local greensand is composed of rounded marine sand, glauconite (the greensstuff), and geothite (small brown/black particles). One of the strawbale walls of my bathroom is plastered using using local brown clay and greensand to achieve a lovely olive green wall...a bit sandy since the rounded sand particles have no "bite."
