Sea Glass from Hawaii!

Sea Glass from Hawaii!

Aloha,

As they say in Hawaii, "I'm lucky I live Hawaii" particulary when it comes to sea glass beachcombing!

Frequently, people comment on my sea glass and they're surprised at how different the pieces are from what they are used to seeing.

While I have not collected from many other parts of the country (but ALL the Hawaiian islands), it seems that the sea glass here tends to be somewhat thicker and more rounded. I attribute that to the high surf.

I find it interesting that some beaches around the country and other places have an abundance of one color yet not another.

For instance, I find quite a few aqua and teal blue pieces but rarely cobalt.

I think the blue pieces that I find here are from utility line insulators and Annheiser Busch bottles.

I could go on and on about sea glass!

I just adore the stuff and go to the  beach 3 or 4 times a week and make it available to others who are not so close to the coast.

I've sold sea glass to people in all fifty states!

But, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so have a look!

Good luck hunting!

Aloha,

Hi Richard - you won't believe this at first but I FINALLY (after 5 years, I believe) found and retrieved your beautiful true story of finding orange sea glass in the surf on Oahu.

It is here: Orange Sea Glass - Oahu, Hawaii

Thanks so much for your patience!!!

PS Is you book on Gold in Peru for sale someplace?

 Ocean glass adventure in Hawaii
by: Karen Hill


My boyfriend and I went to Hawaii 2 years ago. We stayed on the North Shore, Oahu and we found alot of beach or ocean glass.

We didn't realize how popular these pieces were.

Well, we left them outside on a table in the morning and later all the larger pieces were gone.

A little disappointed, we went out and searched for more.

Even though the first finds were of great color and size, I was very happy with the ones we retrieved on our second search.

They are a great conversation piece.

I can't wait till we return to the great state of Hawaii.

Hi Guys:
I have been checking to see if you were still going to put my "Orange" sea glass story on your site.

Please let me know.

Aloha

HI Richard! Please accept my apologies. We have been so swamped with many different things going on. I'm going to make a note to get working on this ASAP.

Thanks again,
