Extremely Rare Teal Large Sea Glass Pendant

I just posted about the extreme rarity of teal sea glass and what makes this piece of teal sea glass that I used for a pendant is it's large size and grade "A" condition. Sea glass comes in so many beautiful shapes each one is unique and stands on its own merits.

This piece measures 1 7/8" x 1 1/4" and contains lots of bubbles or seeds within it indicating old age. In fact, according to Richard LaMotte, author of "Pure Sea Glass" teal glass wasn't produced much after the early 1900s. Couple that with the indication of bubbles or seeds in the glass dating it back to 1905 than you have a piece of extremely rare sea glass that's 100+ years old!

That may not seem like much to people but to me the fact that it's been smoothened by the sea for more than 10 years and comes from a glass that's more than 100 years old AND there's really not much sea glass to be found anymore save for green and brown (popular beer bottle colors) or really thin shards of glass, since this is becoming a near extinct item, then you could say this is a true treasure!

Besides the fact that when worn...it looks just exquisite on the body!
