I figure a lot of us here share the same interests, one of the things I do is collect sand samples from places I go. I have a few extras I would like to trade.
These are each 3 dram vials, approximately 11mL per vial.
The first is - Black Sand, Punaluʻu Beach, Big Island Hawai'i collected on a trip in 2009 - 3 available.
second is - Topaz, Topaz Mountain, Millard County Utah, collected in 2011 - 2 available (I Know it's slightly larger than sand but it fit in my vials!)
Third is - Garnet Sand / Purple Sand, Emerald Creek Idaho, collected in 2014 - 5 available
Last one is - Volcanic sand, Amalfi Coast, Salerno, Italy collected in 2015 - 5 available (supposedly this is rock from Mt. Vesuvius that is broken down by the waves over the years.)
I also have sand and rocks from the Jurassic aged Morrison Formation in Morrison, Colorado. Let me know if there is any interest for that, I can post pictures as well!
I would mostly be interested in growing my sand collection, but I am open to fossil trades as well!
Let me know what you have and we can work something out I'm sure!
I may want a couple of sand samples for the topaz It is not easy stuff to collect or clean!
Hope everyone had a safe and happy new years!!!
