Missing Sand Samples Worldwide – Help Me Fill the Gaps

My sand collection includes samples from every country on Earth, but there are still some special regions and islands from which I either have no samples or only a few. In particular, I am missing sand from three remote islands that are geographically part of larger countries. Additionally, there are countries from which I only have 1 to 5 samples so far. With your help, I can close these gaps! Here’s how you can support me.

Remote Islands – Sand Still Needed

I have not yet received sand samples from the following remote islands. Since these locations are rarely visited and some are uninhabited, they are particularly difficult for me to access. If you have access to these remote regions or know someone traveling there, I would be extremely grateful for any assistance:

Asia

These remote, often uninhabited islands would be an extraordinary addition to my collection. Sand samples from these islands are absolute rarities that I am still missing.

How You Can Help Expand the Collection

If you have the opportunity to visit one of the missing regions or countries, you can easily support me:

Your Sand Sample – A Valuable Contribution to the Collection

With your sand sample, you help me complete my collection. Every sample tells a story and brings a new part of the world into my collection. Your support is invaluable, and I sincerely thank you for every contribution!

Countries with 1–5 Sand Samples – Your Help Is Needed

Although I have sand samples from every country in the world in my collection, there are some countries from which I only have 1 to 5 samples. I need additional samples from these countries to better capture the geological diversity of these regions. If you could send me sand samples from one of these countries, it would be a tremendous help. Every new sample helps fill the gaps and complete the geological diversity of my collection.
