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. The texture most often becomes like a sugar coated surface from the process of hydration. The change is form is when the edges are no longer sharp but smoothed and rounded.

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.
