The 'smooth sand' is prob what is known as 'pamor miang' in peninsular keris context. It's not really a pamor, but some sort of crystallization. Experience is that metals exhibiting "pamor miang" are not very strong/hard, and is usually the non-cutting edge metal. Sometimes we see this in Sumatran kerises without pamor as well. Not sure how it is formed though.
