Best Answer

It's usually debris from a glass object that ended up in the ocean, broke into pieces, and was smoothed by the action of waves and sand.

It can come from pretty much anything - old soda bottles, lamps, windows, whatever. Back in the days when Coke bottles were made from thick, foam-green colored glass, there were loads of pieces that would wash up on shore at the end of the summer. They could be quite interesting, with different shapes and degrees of polishing.

How does sea glass get smooth?

Sea glass gets smooth from the constant motion of the glass tumbling against the sand and force of the waves resulting in a smooth texture. You will notice pitting of the sea glass and a frosted finish with each piece which truly represents genuine natural sea glass. This process takes several years and a long journey in the ocean to deliver such a beautiful sea glass gem.


How can you tell if you have sea glass?

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.
