FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Picture a beautiful beach spanning miles of coastline, gently lapped by aqua-colored water � and sprinkled with glass.

Ouch? Think again. It feels just like sand, but with granules that sparkle in the sunlight.

It's only natural, backers of the idea say, since sand is the main ingredient in glass.
