Welcome to the Color Atlas of Sand!

This website is about sand. It is the virtual home of a sand collector from Estonia. I display here samples from my collection and attempt to write something about sand geology and mineralogy.

My aim is to collect all the possible sand types that can be found on this planet. Definitely ambitious and probably an impossible goal, but I usually say to myself that it is important to move in the right direction. Getting there is of lesser importance. If you also collect sand, please take a look at my trading page to see whether I have something to offer that might interest you.
