Aloha,
As they say in Hawaii, "I'm lucky I live Hawaii" particulary when it comes to sea glass beachcombing!
Frequently, people comment on my sea glass and they're surprised at how different the pieces are from what they are used to seeing.
While I have not collected from many other parts of the country (but ALL the Hawaiian islands), it seems that the sea glass here tends to be somewhat thicker and more rounded. I attribute that to the high surf.
I find it interesting that some beaches around the country and other places have an abundance of one color yet not another.
For instance, I find quite a few aqua and teal blue pieces but rarely cobalt.
I think the blue pieces that I find here are from utility line insulators and Annheiser Busch bottles.
I could go on and on about sea glass!
I just adore the stuff and go to the beach 3 or 4 times a week and make it available to others who are not so close to the coast.
I've sold sea glass to people in all fifty states!
But, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so have a look!
Good luck hunting!
Aloha,
