-'''Black Sand''' is a mottled charcoal colored [[Blocks|block]].
+:''"Dark glass & magnets."''
+'''Black sand''' is a variant form of [[sand]].
+==Appearance==
+Black sand is a mottled, charcoal-colored [[block]], very much like a darker form of sand.
 ==Where Found==
-A [[Blockhead]] can find black sand underneath [[Ocean|some]] bodies of [[water]]. It is far less common than normal [[sand]] but tends to appear in streaks.
+All worlds (even those created before [[Game updates/20131010|version 1.4]]) can have black sand spawned in them. It appears in thin and intermittent lines through existing sand, both near bodies of [[water]] and in [[desert]]s.
-It can even be found in worlds created before v1.4 and replaces some of the [[sand]] that was in your world before.
+It is best [[Harvesting|harvested]] using a [[spade]] or [[magnet]] (which has an odd, metallic "shing" sound associated with it), although there is no loss associated with using anything else. A [[Gold Tool|gold tool]] may produce [[Iron Ore|iron ore]], [[magnet]]s, [[Black Glass|black glass]], or [[Time Crystal|time crystals]] when black sand is harvested.
-==Gathering==
+Alternately, black sand can be created with a [[press]] from one sand and three [[Pig Iron|pig iron]].
-It's best [[Harvesting|harvested]] using a [[spade]], although there is no loss associated with using anything else. A [[Gold Tool|gold spade]] will produce occasional bonuses.

 ==Crafting==
-Sand can be processed in a [[Kiln]] to make [[Black Glass]].

-It can also be smelted with {{Sand}} in an {{Electric Furnace}} to make a {{Silicon Ingot}}
+It can also be smelted with [[sand]] in an [[Electric Furnace|electric furnace]] to make a [[Silicon Ingot|silicon ingot]].

+Combining black sand with an [[Iron Ingot|iron ingot]] using a [[Metalwork Bench|metalwork bench]] (or an [[Electric Metalwork Bench|electric]] one) will create a [[magnet]].

+Two black sand can be put through a [[press]] to produce one [[Iron Ore|iron ore]].

 ==Notes==
 Like most blocks, black sand remains where it's placed even if all support under it is removed.
+Black sand will function as regular sand for growing [[Flax Bush|flax]]<!-- , [[Coconut Tree|coconut tree]], or [[cactus]]-->.
+The relationship between iron ore and black sand is circular but inefficient. Three pig iron and one sand can be turned into one black sand, two black sand can be turned into one iron ore, and one iron ore with one [[Crushed Limestone|crushed limestone]] can be turned into one pig iron. Completing this circle from black sand to black sand loses one sand, three crushed limestone, five black sand, and the required fuel.<!-- Six black sand become three iron ore, with three crushed limestone become three pig iron, with one sand becomes one black sand. -->
