Video for A Grain of Sand - Nature's Secret Wonder
The Amazing Microphotography of Dr. Gary Greenberg
Every grain of sand is a jewel waiting to be discovered. That's what Dr. Gary Greenberg found when he first turned his microscope on beach sand. Gemlike minerals, colorful coral fragments, and delicate microscopic shells revealed that sand comprises much more than little brown rocks. Amazing microphotography showcases spectacular colors, shapes, and patterns. Join Dr. Greenberg as he explores the science and beauty of the sand grain. With this captivating volume, you will never look at a beach the same way again.
Author and photographer Dr. Gary Greenberg is a visual artist who creatively combines art with science. He has a Ph.D. in biomedical research from University College London and holds 17 patents for high-definition 3-D light microscopes. Dr. Greenberg lives in Haiku, Hawaii.
Foreword writer Stacy Keach is an actor renowned for his narration of scientific documentaries, particularly the NOVA series for the Public Broadcasting Service.

hey, does anyone know why the sand often appears yellow/beige when viewed through our eyes...? :)

The beige color of sand is a combination of all the colors that exist in the individual grains. Most of the individual grains are too small to see, so the resulting color is usually beige.

I will not bother, as I lack the knowledge, to comment on *why* grains of sand reflect the colors they do but I can comment on why grains of sand appear in such a color that you perceive in case you're uninformed.
The fact is that colors reflected to your retina are simply wavelengths of light not absorbed by the object and thus are sent back out into the atmosphere/area they are in.
In other words: Photons are weird and carry all sorts of properties.
