About Sea Glass
"Sea Glass" ... What is it? The Wonderful World Of Sea Glass is proud to offer some of the oldest and finest Genuine Sea Glass in the world. Remote beaches along Newfoundland's rugged west coast offer up these colorful, frosted gems. Each is a unique delight to find and to hold! Also known as "beach glass" or "mermaid's tears", authentic sea glass is one of the very few cases of a valuable item being created by the actions of the environment on man-made material. Because littering is discouraged much more today than it was decades and centuries ago authentic sea glass is becoming increasingly rare. We carry a large collection of 100% Authentic Sea Glass, Sea Shells, Driftwood, and unique Rock.
Note: Although it's possible to get Artificial Sea Glass, you'll miss two things with it: 1. Physical appearance. The decades-long exposure to pounding seas creates an etched surface on the glass that cannot be artificially duplicated by a rock tumbler. 2. The romantic origin of authentic Sea Glass. |
