You will be able to determine if you have sea glass on the beach if the texture is frosted and slightly pitted, you may even see small "C" shapes in the glass. There are a wide range of pieces that you may come across from barely finished, like a recent bottle thrown into the sea or a piece that has spent 50 to 100 years in the ocean tumbling its way back to land.
Artifically tumbled sea glass, is sea glass that has never even been in the ocean, but broken pieces thrown into a tumbler. You can tell the difference by holding the piece up to the light. It is too perfect. Too smooth and missing the qualities listed above. Only Genuine Natural Sea Glass Has Spent Its Travels In The Ocean.
If you walk the beach look down and if you see something sparkling in the sand, you may have just come across a gem from past.

Sea glass is made of any glass form that has been trashed and found its' way to the sea (most likely by dumping) only to be surf tumbled for a very long time until it has been changed in both texture and form by the natural movements of the ocean.

Flint is a common name for a form of sedimentary rock called chert, formed from microscopic siliceous (essentially quartz) skeletons of radiolarians. As such the hardness of chert is 7, which is slighly harder than glass and considerably harder than steel. If it will scratch glass it is likely to be flint. Flint is often mistaken for limestone or marble, which is much softer and will not scratch glass.
