I have a small plastic bag with some of the sands of Iwo Jima. The ‘sand’ is actually black volcanic glass beads which are somewhat flattened. It was given to me by an old veteran at a reunion in about 2012/2014. He picked it up himself when he went back to the island.

I’ve heard it described as like trying to walk in coffee grounds.
