The adoration of genuine sea glass has caused artificial, man made "frosted glass" to show up on the modern market. This mechanically created glass is not "sea glass".
Real sea glass is glass that has spent time and a unique journey at sea. It has stood the test of time and tide, often for decades. This is what gives genuine, beach combed sea glass its value and significance. The process of mimicking the forces of nature cannot exactly be duplicated.
For years, West Coast Sea Glass has been leading the way to bring the customer beach combed sea glass.
