Description

Most purple sea glass is actually “sun” purple – in the old days manganese was added to glass as a clarifying agent, and manganese turns purple when exposed to UV rays – like those in sunlight.

This uniquely shaped lavender pendant is an excellent specimen of this “purpling” process.

Found on Nova Scotian shores.

Sea Glass, or Beach Glass, are beautiful pieces of found-again treasures that wash upon the shore after years of churning within bodies of water. Over a duration of 30-50 years, or even more, powerful tides break the glass into smaller pieces and erode away sharp edges, producing a beautifully smooth and alluring glass gem.
