Ureki black sand is a unique type of sand found on the shores of Ureki, a beach town on the Black Sea coast of Georgia. The sand is of volcanic origin and is black in color due to the presence of iron, titanium, and other minerals. The negative ions present in the sand are said to have a calming effect and can be beneficial for people with respiratory problems, allergies, and skin diseases. Many resorts and hotels in the area offer treatments and therapies using Ureki black sand. Apart from its healing properties, Ureki black sand is also a popular tourist attraction due to its striking black color and the beautiful scenery of the Black Sea coast.
