Sea glass originates as pieces of glass from broken bottles, broken tableware, or even shipwrecks, which are rolled and tumbled in the ocean for years until all of their edges are rounded off, and the slickness of the glass has been worn to a frosted appearance. Meaning not one piece is the same and each piece is completely unique to you. You will be working with blue, transparent and green sea glass.
