About Sea Glass:

Uses:

Because of its beauty, artisans use sea glass in jewelry, picture and mirror frames, and in mosaics.

Artificial Sea Glass:

Since is getting harder to find sea glass (with the decrease of littering), some people make sea glass in rock tumblers. It is possible to tell the difference between real and artificial sea glass using a microscope.

Fun Fact:

Sea glass may be the only case in which littering produces something of beauty.
