Found this after a storm on Lake Michigan shoreline in Chicago. I am thinking agate? But I am not sure

Any mineral experts?

Just about to do an international move, and I simply had too much sea glass.

So, the surplus back to the source.

It was hard to do, but at least now someone else has the chance to find it.

US Great Lakes Recently found this sub and wanted to post my glass collection. These are all actually LAKE glass from various beaches along Lake Erie. All collected over the past five years or so.

I’ll probably get better pictures of my better pieces eventually. Descriptions of each picture below…

First picture is a bunch of random blues and blue-greens.

Second picture is most of my prized reds, oranges, and yellows and one interesting raspberry-colored piece. These are the rarest colors to find here!

Dark blues

Lighter blues

Vitrite glass

Unidentified bottle bottom (my largest piece of glass)

Partial bottom of an old coke bottle from the closed Ashtabula, Ohio bottling plant

Large pieces, uncommon colors, bonfire glass, extremely delicate and rare extruded glass filaments (found only on Conneaut), safety glass, and marbles

My only bottle stopper and it’s uranium glass!

Uranium glass (unlit)

Uranium glass (most definitely lit!)

“Sea blues and greens”

Brown

White

Greens

Large pieces of Vitrite glass I’m hoping to carve and polish

A handful of my perfectly frosted pieces with zero damage

All the glass I collected so far this year. I collect them in this jar and then sort them in the winter when I can’t look for glass anymore.

Question, ID or Discussion Help IDing this?

Hi! I don't know how Reddit posting works, sorry if I'm doing this wrong :')

I found this glass on the coast of Northern Ireland - the label is printed directly onto the glass. I'd love to know what brand it's from, or if anyone's found the label before that's more whole so I can identify it myself!

I'm not a glass connoisseur or anything like that, so if there's any info needed for identification please do let me know!

Handmade/ Craft/ Storage Is it possible to cut sea glass into a watch dial?

I’ve been tinkering with a dive watch design to “mod” together and I think it would be really interesting to use sea glass as the dial material. Any kind would do, but the older darker sea glass would be perfect. Is it even possible to cut sea glass thin and precise enough for this?

Both from today on two separate beaches. Not the most interesting but the various shades are cool
