What Is Sea Glass And Where Does It Come From?
The term ‘sea glass’ is used to refer to the small pieces of glass that are typically found on beaches along bays, seas, and oceans, but they can also be found on the banks of large rivers. Sea glass is weathered both physically and chemically due to the constant tumbling action of waves over an extended period of time. Although sea glass can be found on beaches all over the world, the beaches of the northeast United States, northeast England, Mexico, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Italy, and Australia are particularly well known for their wealth of sea glass. It’s often said about sea glass that as far as its “manufacturing process†is concerned, it is the opposite of diamonds because diamonds are produced by nature and polished by man, whereas (naturally occurring) sea glass is produced by humans but polished by nature.
