South Beach Ring iiii

Rare Lavender or Amethyst glass was made pre world war one. Glass is made from sand. It was difficult to separate the iron oxide from the sand 100+ years ago. This is why there is so much aqua sea glass because of the oxidization on metals in the sand. Then glass makers discovered  manganese as a decolourized. However they never realized with solarization the glass would turn purple over time. The shade of purple can be very slight to a deep amethyst depending on the amount of sun exposure or manganese in the glass.
 
Sea glass is symbolic of renewal. A once beautiful object. Turned Trash, exploding in the sea. Then tumbled by the ocean for decades.
 
Sea glass is a reminder for when we feel broken that it is possible to transform into something even more beautiful then when we first start out.
