Sea glass is a timeless treasure.  The journey a piece takes may have begun decades or centuries before it was found.  Sea glass starts out as refuse glass that was broken then discarded into the sea, only to find its seeming resting ground in the ocean or upon the shoreline.

Yet the piece is awakened as powerful elements of sand, tide, water & weather buffet the shard over time & terrain.  It is trans-formed during the voyage; sanded, smoothed, hydrated & finally renewed into a gem.

After a lifetime of tumbling, the colorful jewel washes up on the shore and waits to be discovered.
