LUNAR REGOLITH BEACH SAND
The top layers of regolith on the Moon today were formed by meteorites or micrometeorites hitting the surface and causing larger rocks or cooled lunar magma to break up into smaller, sharp particles. Because there is no wind or water to smooth the edges of the particles like here on Earth, they stay that way. There are also no bugs or organic material like leaves that break down into the soil.
