White sand can be found on Taldain's Dayside. The whiteness of the sand is due to a microorganism (likely a form of lichen),{{book ref|ws|11|review=yes}}), which lives on the surface of the sand particles,{{epigraph ref|sa4|63}}{{au ref|Taldain}}{{wob ref|12982}} that indicates the sand is [[Investiture|Invested]]. White sand glows when used in sand mastery, and then turns black afterwards.{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}} The glow is opalescent, appearing as a yellowish-white glow in the light but displaying many colors when seen in darkness.{{book ref|ws|11|review=yes}}{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}}{{book ref|ws|part=ars}} The sand will also glow and turn black when touched by water or other liquids.{{book ref|ws|11|review=yes}}
 
Sand that has been digested by a sandling will be shades of translucent tan, and can be mistaken for sand from Darkside.{{book ref|ws|11|review=yes}} This is because the sandlings are digesting the lichen that covered the sand. It is theorized that adding white sand to sand that does not have the lichen will allow the lichen to spread and cover the normal sand.{{book ref|ws|11|review=yes}} It is unknown how long it takes for the lichen to regrow on the surface of normal sand.
