Beach Combing Treasures

I love using my fan shell and displaying some of my sea glass pieces together. Uncommon ones like aqua, sea foam, lavender and pirate glass (black)

Finding great pieces of sea glass last week and some common colors. I especially love the size of them, probably using for decor and some extra ones for making jewelry pendants.

Now this was rare find, first noticed it pitch black, but then I usually face them at the sun to see if it reveals an actual color, this type of glass is called pirate glass. A dark red/brown sure was surprisingly interesting to spot ❤️🤎❤️

Found five colors of the same size and especially the cobalt blue was pretty thick. Three common colors of green, brown, and white, then also finding a nice teal piece, my favorite color as well. Such luck finds 💚🤍🤎💙🩵

One of my favorite colors to look for 🩵🩵🩵

Having all three colors and especially rare red, makes an amazing decor together. Happy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🎇🎆

I sure couldn’t believe on this find on Summer solstice/Father’s Day, quite a size of uranium sea glass and testing it at night 💚💚💚

This type of glass is called pirate glass, looking so much like black, but as soon as you face it directly at the sun, then it helps you reveal what color it really is.

My very first marble found exactly a decade ago this month. I was so shocked, especially since this is one of the rarest colors on top of that. Sure brings good luck too ❤️❤️❤️

Historical Age: Most found glass bottle stoppers are at least 100 years old, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, before plastic and crown caps replaced them.Origin: They typically come from old perfume, medicine, poison, or sauce bottles (such as Lea & Perrins)

This color is mostly common in the Coca-cola bottles, but when looked under neath, then I thought this can’t be it. Sure enough, I sent it to Google, then the results came right away 🩵🩵🩵

Gray sea glass is an exceptionally rare find that typically originates from antique items such as cathode ray tube television sets, vintage medicine or seltzer bottles, industrial insulators, and smoked glassware from the 20th century.

Sun-Colored Amethyst (Most Common Type): Most purple sea glass was originally clear glass manufactured between roughly 1880 and 1915, which contained manganese. Over decades, UV rays from the sun cause this manganese to oxidize, turning the glass into shades of lavender or light purple.

They most of the time come in much smaller sizes, but this one, thinking to myself “it has to be uranium glass” based on the color and sure enough, it does glow under UV light, absolutely rare to find too 💚💚💚

Before and after, my rare finds of uranium sea glass, it is pretty rare to find at the beach. They can most likely come in a very light lime color or light turquoise. I always like to test it out with my UV light once it gets darker at evening.

Teal/Teal Green: The deeper, rich blue-green pieces. Teal is considered an extremely rare color, often coming from older utilitarian bottles like Mateus wine bottles.
