OK So I'm pretty geeky so if anyone cares:

Assume a "pure" grain of sand is composed of SiO₂S.

Assume a single grain of sand is 1mm³

Assume the single grain of sand is compacted to it's natural crystalline layout.

...then...

Using one Minecraft "block" to represent one atom it would take 18,160,790,209 full minecraft "surface" maps to create a voxel of a single grain of sand. (I'm not including depth because people mistake empty sky on minecraft for "none-map" when it actually is XD)

Isn't nature amazing?

Edit: If you want to recreate each grain of sand on the earth in minecraft (a tiny blip in the universe) , using current consumer NAND memory it would take a disk about 610,200,000 times the size of the known universe to store the map =D

EDIT: ISN'T NATURE AMAZING?!?!?!

EDIT EDIT:  Oops not just sand, soz I get pretty excited with the maths.. I'll do just sand tomorrow when I'm not so sleepy... not that anyone cares or gets as excited about the maths as me XD

If I'm not mistaken, this has allready been done? It's a game made by Clive, called: Isocraft. I think it's pretty much Endless-Online Minecraft...not sure though.
