non linear thinking

An arenophile (also called psammophile) is one who collects sand samples, the interest of the hobby lying in the variety of texture, colour, mineralogy and location.

This hobby may include sand deposited on coastlines throughout the world.

The rarest sands are found at the sites; Pitcairn's island and Easter island.Some collectors have included sand from rivers and mineral deposits if they meet the criteriaaccording to diameter and physical properties, ensuring that the samples have met proper sand definition. Only three places on earth have green sand, recently a supply has been found in Brazil
