Sea glass with water, sand and air bubble inside?

by Florencia

How odd is it to find sea glass with water, sand and air bubble inside?

Lin's comment: "That is an interesting question. Since I started collecting sea glass, I can only recall a couple that have a bubble in them, and we now have a bunch of sea glass from the East Coast, West Coast, and points beyond. I don't have a single one that would have all three, bubble, water, and sand, though I have seen pictures of some.

"I would say it would be a keeper because it's not all that common. It could be something the collectors would be interested in, but the color would probably play a factor as well."


And David adds: "If you look closely, you might be able to see a very tiny hole where the sand and water got in. To keep the water from evaporating, you might want to put a spot of oil or vaseline in that hole."

Can any of you sea glass fans help with this question?

Seaglass location, location, location!
by: Nick from Seaglass Dreams

Hi all, I have many pieces of seaglass from Bermuda that has air bubbles and sand trapped inside the glass but unfortunately the water you mentioned prob. got there in a small hole or opening in the seaglass or else it would have evaporated long ago!

The air bubbles were formed when they made the glass mainly by glass blowers and not by machines so this seaglass is rather old. Most seaglass with sand attached are called "Bonfire Seaglass" or "Melts". This type of seaglass was glass that was burned and melted in garbage pits on the beach or inland and then dumped or washed into the Ocean. I hope this info enlightens you all!....Nick
