Perhaps the one thing Siesta Key Beach is famous for is it's fine, white sand. Even in the most sweltering of Florida's summer heat, this sand stays cool to the touch from dawn to dusk. Why? Because it's 99 percent quartz.Quartz is the second most abundant mineral on the Earth's surface, acting as a composite to many forms of rocks and crystals such as rose quartz, amethyst, and tiger's eye.While many beaches have quartz in their sand, only a few in the world can compare to Siesta's Sand. When was the last time you dug your toes in it? Come on by for a sunset walk tonight!
