Is there truly a significant structural difference between these materials? Essentially, both are just melted and solidified sand, aren't they? The desert material originated from a meteor impact while the coastal variant is often derived from aged shattered glass. My fascination with these transformations began during a visit to the Sahara, where I learned about how immense pressure can turn forsaken landscapes into fascinating geological wonders. On different shores around the world, I've often marveled at how time and nature metamorphose discarded glass into refined gemstones.
