Sea Glass
🌊 Worn by waves, recycled by the sea 🌊
Sea glass is physically and chemically weathered glass
found on beaches along bodies of salt water. These weathering processes
produce natural frosted glass. Sea glass is used for decoration, most
commonly in pictures and jewellery. While traditional gems, such as
diamonds, rubies and emeralds are made by nature and refined by man, sea
glass is made by man, such as bottles and jars, and regined by nature, to
make smooth frosty beach gems!
The
colour
of sea glass is determined by its original source, and most sea glass
comes from bottles. The most common colours of sea glass are green, brown,
white and clear. These colours predominantly come from glass bottles,
glasses, windshields, windows and assorted other sources. Less common
colours include jade, amber, golden amber, lime green, forest green and
soft blue. These colours are found about once for every 25 to 100 pieces
of sea glass found. Purple sea glass is very uncommon, as is citron,
opaque white, cobalt blue and aqua. Extremely rare colours include gray,
pink, black, yellow, red and orange. These colours are found once for
every 1,000 to 10,000 pieces collected.
