Natural Sea Glass starts out as refuse glass that has been tossed into the ocean. This was a common practice for glass foundries from 1800 - 1950's. As the glass breaks apart from the motion of the waves, the small pieces of glass get tumbled and smoothed by the sand and sea.

Beach Glass is the term used for glass that is formed in the same manner, but in a lake or river.
