It has been cured and smoothed by the sand. It takes approximately 30 years for a piece of glass to properly cure.
Some folks collect it and put it in jars, fill with water and put them on their windowsills.
The light filtering through the colored seaglass is quite beautiful.
Some people make jewlery with seaglass. I do collect seaglass.
I like your analogy tho. Sea Glass.

I see; I 've seen a show on TV qua lighthouses
that were fitted with a lens of French invention
(perhaps octogonal?) which manipulates the light,
as it casts it out to the ships at sea, that thay not
run aground on the rocks.
I grew up in Arizona. Sometimes we ventured out on the desert
and we saw old, abandoned glass. We observed that long exposure
to sunlight turns ordinary glass into a
blue color. I guess that is desert glass.
Thanx for the explanation.
