Cobalt tumbled sea glass -- How gracious is our God to take our trash and give it back as art? |
Recognized |
Sea glass or beach glass is simply shards of trash, like bottles and jars, that end up in the ocean where they are broken and tumbled into beautiful pieces of smooth, frosted glass that is actively sought after by beachcombers and collectors. There are dealers, jewelry sellers and associations of collectors listed on the net. One association even has an annual festival.
As with any collectible, rarity is key. Cobalt shards, typically made from early Milk of Magnesia, Bromo-Seltzer and Vicks Vapo-Rub bottles, are considered rare, amounting to one in only a few hundred pieces of sea glass found.
