The finest, smoothest sand you'll ever see. Rubbish for sand castles.

”

Slimepedia Entry[]

Silky Sand is a common resource exclusive to the Glass Desert, obtained with a pump.

Though the glass desert is covered with sand, silky sand found deep below the surface is so smooth and pure it almost feels like water. These qualities make it very useful in gadget fabrication.

On the Ranch:[]

Deposit silky sand into the Lab's refinery where it can be used for crafting Slime Science gadgets.

Origin[]

Silky Sand may be based on sand that has undergone the process of fluidization, wherein a granular material has gases pushed through it in order for it to behave in a similar manner to a liquid, albeit in a seemingly more permanent manner. Like Silky Sand, fluidized beds have many applications in industry.

Trivia[]

Silky Sand shares a similar model with Primordy Oil, Spiral Steam, Lava Dust, and Deep Brine.
