Olivine crystals are removed from the eroding land aside the water, by the movement of the sea. Eventually, supply will end, and the sand will look like any other sand. How long it takes for this natural occurrence to 'run out' is dependent upon the amount that is in the land from which it comes.

Green sand is a type of foundry sand used in metal casting. It gets its name from the color of the sand, which is due to a mineral called glauconite. Green sand is typically found in coastal regions near bodies of water where glauconite-rich sediments have accumulated over time.
