Send Sand Samples – Let’s Grow the Collection Together!
Have you ever dreamed of being part of an extraordinary project?
Here’s your chance: Help me expand one of the largest sand collections in the world! Your sand samples help capture the diversity and beauty of our planet in all its forms. And the best part: Every contribution counts and makes the collection even more unique and fascinating!
How Can You Help?
It’s simple: Bring me sand from your travels or collect some from your local area. Every sand sample – whether it’s from a beach, a lake, a river, or a mountain – tells a special story. Particularly exciting are rare finds from exotic locations like small islands, the ocean floor, or mountain peaks. The more unique the sample, the more fascinating the collection becomes!
The Right Amount and Packaging
The ideal amount of sand is about 30 ml, which is roughly the volume of a Kodak film canister. If you have more sand to spare, I’d be thrilled – the more samples I receive, the faster the collection grows!

How to Send Sand?
The easiest way to send sand is in a well-sealed Zip-Lock bag. On my website, you’ll find a "Packing Workshop" with instructions on how to safely and easily package and ship your sand. This ensures your samples arrive safely and can soon become part of the collection!
Every Collector is Honored
Your support is more than just a sand sample – it’s a valuable contribution to a greater whole. As a thank you, everyone who sends me sand samples will be featured in the Sands Collectors Hall of Fame on my website. In this way, you become a part of this global collection and help it continue to grow.
Where to Send?
Contact me via email with a brief description of the sand samples you’d like to send. I will then get in touch with you to discuss the details. Your sand samples will find a deserving place in my collection – even if it sometimes takes a little time before they’re online. I’m incredibly grateful for every submission!
The More, The Better!
The more different sand samples I receive, the faster the collection grows. Help make it even more diverse and impressive! With your support, this collection can become one of the largest and most exciting in the world.
