The oolites form in warm, supersaturated and shallow wave-agitated water, rolling along the lake bottom and gradually accumulating layers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe oolites in this sand are roughly 0.1 to 0.3 mm in diameter.

Note that these have been affected by covid. No germs, but bottles from our regular supplier look like they were made by someone working remotely, grinding the stoppers by hand. Formerly the neck of the bottle and the stopper were machine ground and fit perfectly. Now the fit is loose, so we ship these with a cork, but supply the \"rustic\" glass stopper along with the cork until we run out of \"covid specials\" and can get machine-ground bottles again.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e By Priority Mail or USPS Ground Advantage, whichever is cheaper. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eClick \u0026gt; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/geologicalspecimensupply.com\/pages\/about-shipping\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ehere \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u0026lt; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003efor shipping rates.
