About Mineral Sands
Heavy Minerals are then concentrated by marine processes to form concentrations within beach and sand dune environments. The HMS accumulates via a mechanical wet gravity sorting action, which occurs due to the HMS being more than twice the density of water and significantly heavier than normal quartz sand grains.
