Black Sand is a mottled charcoal colored block.

Where Found

A Blockhead can find black sand underneath some bodies of water. It is far less common than normal sand but tends to appear in streaks. It can even be found in worlds created before v1.4 and replaces some of the sand that was in your world before.

Gathering

It's best harvested using a spade, although there is no loss associated with using anything else. A 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

Notes

Like most blocks, black sand remains where it's placed even if all support under it is removed.
