I didn't see any bubbles, the vinegar was very clear, but I did see something in some pictures that made me wonder. It looked like out-of-focus stars in the background...teeny-tiny bubbles *or* some imperfection in the glass jar.... :?: :?: :?: The grains, themselves, look like silica/quartz with a few odd grains "here and there".
I wouldn't worry about it...
