SEA GLASS
Sea glass is formed when glass is exposed to water and elements of nature. The frosty appearance of the surface of the glass is caused by a corrosive process that occurs. Glass is exposed to water with the proper ph balance etched and etched away by direct contact with abrasive objects. Certain chemicals used in making the glass caused the color of glass to change when exposed to sun. It can take up to 10 years just to create significant etching eliminate hard edges. It can take 50 years or longer to achieve the smooth frosty surface of pure sea glass. Perfectly formed pieces can be hundreds of years old.
The Sea Glass jewelry designs are categorized based on color and rarity. Sea Glass is classified by color and rarity based on the original bottle that it came from. Colors that were more prolific are considered common colors while colors that were limited in the bottle industry are considered extremely rare. Certain colors may be more available in certain areas due to the history of surrounding industry. That explains why there may be a few of some colors and many of other colors.
