sand-coloured deposits in kettle

What are these do you think? Lime from hard water is white I thought. This stuff is sand-coloured and like sand to the touch - coms off the element easily and has sparkly bits even.

It's limescale and it varies depends where you live. The water in London is full of it, and after a week you would nearly have enough to build a small house!
