Does Sea Glass Mean Mermaids Are Real?

Natalie unboxes something you've probably come across while walking along a beach: sea glass! Interestingly, these are also known as "mermaid's tears." So are mermaids... real? Natalie walks you through exactly what these are and how they're created.

love sea glass! I have 4 huge jars of it, mined from the Maine coast. Love hunting for it! I never heard the thing about mermaid tears. Blue is definitely rare, that is a great blue piece!

I have pink sea glass, it's even got a design, but I lost it! It's somewhere in my house! I didn't know it was so rare, that is cool!

[@savannahgutierrez3245]

When I think of sea glass I think of flapjacks

[@yurwa1962]

I have blue sea glass, and green and brown and white, I LOVE SEA GLASS AND THIS CHANNEL! Also you can determine how old it is from its sides, sharp size means around 1-3 years, of round then it means it's around 5-10 years,

[@Stellamarius]

That's so cool! I didn't know you could tell the age of sea glass like that (I'm an avid sea glass collector myself! :D ) I adore the deep blue sort of sea glass but I can never find that many specimens :(

[@Shock_Treatment]

I found a huge piece in Manitou Springs, CO once. It was probably 6"x4", but I have no idea where it went.

[@phoenixwillington7329]

I had a sea-glass ring which was the neck of a beer bottle, it was beautiful

[@CeraisianAlchemist]

I have small fragments of purple beach glass, which are actually quite rare.

[@aestheticenergy333]

I think that completely natural sea glass is possible for instance if lightning would strike sand on a beach and make natural glass and then have it go in to the ocean or some body of water I think that over time it would collect impurities to change color or it might get more rounded its just a guess or hypothesis i made tell me what you think

[@gs.f2750]

I found one once when i was a kid and my mom made me throw it out

[@ZackAquamarine6XZ]

[@gems]

This sea glass is real!

[@SarahFrickArt]

looks real to me

[@alexisrodriguez8868]

Sarah Frick i've collected sea glass all my life and from my experience they are frosted and more rounded, i have various pieces of sea glass jewelry as well

[@octopound]

Alexis Rodriguez it just depends on how long they've been in the water. The longer they've been in the frontier and rounder it will be.
