Just like diamonds or other gems seaglass has different grades according to its’ rarity. The age, condition, color, shape and size all are taken into consideration when putting a value on a sea glass shard . Like anything else the more difficult it is to find the greater the demand which interprets into a higher price tag. Sure there are oodles and oodles of sea glass that people have collected most in the common colors of white, green, brown and seafoam and are great for tiling, mosaics, centerpieces and etc., but most are chipped or not completely smoothed and frosted.

Sea glass certainly does have value! There is a wonderful book written by Richard LaMotte called “Pure Sea Glass”. I recommend it to sea glass collectors.
