The worth of sea glass greatly depends on the color and quality of each piece. Natural sea glass values range from the most commonly found such as brown, green and white to the more rare pieces such as red, orange and gray. I have seen single pieces of red sell for as much as $200.00. The more rare the color, the more valuable.

What does glass do in sea water?
Sea glass left in salt water does not do a whole lot. Since clear glass is composed of soda-lime, it is possible that leaching could occur. However, even very old glass found in salt water still has a shiny surface if not subjected to physical contact with other objects. If the glass is subjected to physical contact with other materials, however, chipping will occur. This usually is a result of oscillations in the water, most noticeable in beach glass or sea glass, that is glass found on beaches between mean high and low tide lines where the most tumbling from waves occurs. This results in a "frosted" look from the minute chips caused by tumbling with small rocks and sand. This, of course, is not a chemical reaction but from the physical contact with other objects. A chemical reaction can occur when exposed to sunlight, for example, on the beach. Other ingredients in the glass (minerals for color, or impurities) can change color when subjected to ultraviolet rays over a period of time. This, however, is not due to the water and is not the basically glass itself that is affected.

How much is a piece of orange sea glass worth?
Nothing, it's probably a regular piece glass just a different color. Like a Orange Glass Bottle. So i'd say it's worth nothing. So don't think it's worth millions or anything like that. Actually, orange sea glass is the most rare. Don't listen to the person above. Orange sea glass can go for a lot of money. How much? I don't know, but it can go for at least $25 for a small piece. Red would be next in line, then blue, followed by green white and brown.
