Sea glass begins as just ordinary pieces of broken glass that are rolled and tumbled for years by the ocean, until the sharp edges are smoothed and rounded, and the slickness of the glass has been worn to a smooth, frosted look. It usually originates from bottles or any other glass products that are thrown on the beach or in the ocean.

So, basically, someone else's trash eventually becomes the beautiful pieces of sea glass so sought after by collectors! More about Sea Glass...
