Dark Purple Beach Glass

by Kelly Thaden
(Austin Texas)

I have some really dark purple pieces, so dark you can only see the color by holding it up to the sun and even then can only see the color on the very edge of the glass. Where is this glass from? They are shaped like some of the cobalt blue pieces that come from the light bulbs.

purple sea glass
by: Mikayla Gill

I live in Montague PEI. I am 10 years old.When I first started to collect beach glass, I went down to the lower Montague wharf. I saw something that looked to be purple - I thought it was a shell like the blue shells. But I picked it up anyway. Then I picked up the top the rest was still in the sand.
When I dug the rest of it from the sand and saw the rest of it I SCREAMED. My first piece of purple.Now I need to find a piece of orange and yellow.

Dark Purple Insulator
by: Sarah Jane

According to the Pure Sea Glass Identification Deck, what you have is "black-amethyst glass, which appears black until a bright light is used to illuminate its deep purple hue. It was used for insulators on the bottoms of early light bulbs..."
That would make it about 100 years old.
