Peach sand???

[chicki]

I saw some yesterday, and just love the color!! :) I'm wondering if any of you have used it? how does it look? I bought some, but haven't added it yet cuz I figure everyone will think it looks unatural :? If anyone has it, can you post a pic so I can see what it looks like before doing so myself!
thanks

Lynn, you probably have some critters in your tank that are called foraminiferans. Little pink animals that form a reddish calcium based skeleton. In natural areas that have high concentrations of these, the beach sand can actually look pink from the skeletons breaking down. Ipso facto........the pink sand that you have s/b natural.
