Welcome to My Sand Collection
I Love Sand
Sitting on a sand motu in Tikehau, Tahiti.
Welcome to my sand collection. I've been traveling and collecting sand for many years now, but this website is new and under construction. It will take awhile to photograph all of my samples, but I'm going to catalog them all here - eventually. My plan is to post for each sample a photo of the sand itself as well as photos from the site it was collected from and a map. I'd also like to include interesting information about each site.
By the way, my passion for sand goes with my profession - I am a marine biologist. I am also a member of the International Sand Collector's Society. So yes, there are others.

I keep my sand in spice jars (Rajtan) from Ikea.
I have to display them even while traveling!
