Green sea glass (likely)
Man-made glass, likely soda-lime silicate glass; not a natural mineral or rock
AI-generated identification · may be incorrectOpaque sea-green, rounded and frosted from abrasion; glass is amorphous and has no Mohs hardness classification as a rock (typically about 5–6). The image alone cannot confirm its material.

Physical properties
Opaque sea-green, rounded and frosted from abrasion; glass is amorphous and has no Mohs hardness classification as a rock (typically about 5–6). The image alone cannot confirm its material.
Formation & geological history
Likely discarded glass worn smooth by surf or tumbling; its age and source cannot be determined from appearance.
Uses & applications
Collected as beach glass and used in crafts, jewelry, and decoration; usually little commercial value.
Geological facts
Sea glass develops its matte, rounded surface through prolonged abrasion and chemical weathering in water.
Field identification & locations
A frosted surface and rounded edges suggest sea glass, unlike most mineral pebbles; a hardness or composition test would help distinguish it. Common on beaches and shorelines.
