Happy Mid-Week Darlin' Sea glassâoften called "mermaid's tears"âis naturally weathered glass found on saltwater beaches.
It originates from discarded glass items (like bottles or tableware)
that are tossed and tumbled by ocean waves, sand, and currents. This
decades-long process smooths the edges and etches the surface into a
distinct frosted texture.
The Journey: Trash from shipwrecks, coastal living, or tossed overboard ends up on the ocean floor.
The Tumble: The rolling action of the tide grinds the glass against sand and rocks, smoothing out all the sharp edges.
The Frost: Saltwater and natural minerals chemically react with the glass, creating a pitted, frosted surface over 20 to 50+ years
