Do you have a macro/close-up setting on your camera (usually represented by a small flower)? (Be careful about getting too close or too far from the subject, the focal length will be important here.)

I only offer the photography advice because even with my background in photography (without my special lenses, deliberate side lighting, and manual focus) I think I'd be challenged to capture this type of detail esp in a clear stone. (I've done it with white and that's tough enough. This is clear.)

Can you try again? Right now, all I can tell you from the pictures is that you have a clear stone with what appear to be some inclusions (maybe the sand you mentioned). The description helps, but I have seen so many carved stones that the detail from the artist's hand would be more helpful.

Without an analysis of the type of sand, unfortunately that clue alone is minimal, considering all the sandy beaches in the world. (Any idea where the gallery would have been located? The gallery may be a better lead than the item itself.)

I assume that there are no initials, letters, or random lines (possible maker mark) that appear to be separate from the artistic components of the picture.

Last suggestion regarding the photo, a size reference would be nice. That's why some people place a coin, dollar bill, or ruler next to their object.
