Geology on the Beach

I have been to the green sands beach on the south part of the island more than once now. I have seen the many olivine deposits that fill the cove. Lately my mom has been getting into geology and crystals. This has raised my awareness and caused me  to take a closer look at the earth around me. I went to one of the local beaches today and looked around with my new observant eyes. What did I find all round me, olivine. But this was slightly different as most of it was still at home in its mother rock.
