SEA GLASS IS SEA GLASS INDUSTRY




Is it Legal to Collect the Sea Glass in Fort Bragg?
Yes! Do not listen to lies about it being archeological or historical and protected by law, usually cited as California Code of Regulations 4308, which does not apply, and will never apply, to dump refuse. Ask any archeologist, and Watch Capt Cass' MCTV interview on the magical Glass Beaches of Fort Bragg! Hear how they have created a magnificent, accidental, underwater garden in Fort Bragg, and why it is legal to collect.

TO BE HAD HERE."


The Most Exotic, Genuine, Sea Glass Available.




THE FORT BRAGG 1906 - 1943 SITE
(Click on any photo to enlarge)








All of my Sea Glass Jewelry, sometimes called Beach Glass Jewelry, is made from genuine, authentic, sea-tumbled sea glass (sometimes spelled "seaglass"). The sea glass I use has been "weathered" for years by the sea, wind and waves, just like me.

My sea glass and terracotta have been tumbling over and over again on the "Glass Beaches" in Fort Bragg, California, for at least 64 years, though most of it has been tumbling in the surf much longer.

Fort Bragg actually has three Glass Beaches, the oldest of which closed in 1943. Since that site operated for at least 37 years (cir. 1906), much of its sea glass goes back into the last century and has been tumbling for nearly 100 years. I go there by ocean kayak, which is the only legal access. It might be open to the general public by foot around 2011, when a coastal trail is planned to be opened. I don't recommend novices try to get there by kayak, like I do, because it is usually tricky and often dangerous. I only go in certain sea and tide conditions and it took me, a retired sea captain, a month of studying conditions before I even attempted it.

The locals are serious about protecting their magnificent beaches and those who try to come to Fort Bragg to break its laws to trespass into the original site usually leave the beach under police escort and then leave the town on probation. Local collectors who frequent the site legally when posssilbe, and frequent the other sites when they can't, call trespassers in to the police. Do not expect to be be welcome here if you intend to break our laws and steal from our resources.

The area known as "Glass Beach", as noted in Martha Stewart's August 2007 edition of Living as the highest concentration of sea glass in the world, was the last of three town ocean dump sites that operated from 1949 until 1967. There is also a middle site that operated from 1943 until 1949.

Please visit my Sea Glass History site for more sea glass history.

It is the weathering, tumbling, and aging in sand and saltwater that gives real sea glass, its unique character, "frosted" appearence, and "soft" texture. A process called "hydration" is responsible for the pitting. As the glass soaks in the sea water, the lime and soda used in making the glass leaches out and leaves little pits on the surface. Sometimes the soda and lime also mix with other minerals, forming sparkling crystals on the surface of the glass. Hydration, or pitting, does not occur as readily in fresh water because the PH of the fresh water is wrong. Technically, fresh water glass is called "beach glass", while salt water glass is called "sea glass".

You might also find very unique shapes and fused combinations of colors here. This is "Fire Glass" and Fire Glass that is also Sea Glass is very rare. I haven't seen any online yet but mine.

Fort Bragg's glass beaches are rare ocean sites where they also burned everything. This is because the ocean was not carrying anything away. They didn't know when they put in these sites that the rock formations here set up wave patterns that keep everything on the beach, even in the worst of storms. So as things began to back up, they began to burn and finally had to keep moving the dump sites. It was this that gave us our beautiful "Fire/Sea Glass" and multiple sites.

"Glass Beach" is in isolated Fort Bragg, California, in the awesome Redwoods, 120 miles north of San Francisco on the California coast. It has the highest concentration of sea glass in the world. Click on this link for the History of Glass Beach.

Because of the uniqueness of Fort Bragg's Glass Beach, even items like sea shells and spark plugs are processed into items that make beautiful jewelry, and you will find such unique items from time-to-time on this site as I find them.

So please enjoy browsing through these pages, as that is most of the fun, even if you can not afford the higher priced, rarer, pieces.

Looking, after all, is free.

Me And "The DaVinci Code", 7/23/2005

A "SEA GLASS" STORY


I used to sit down near "Glass Beach", where I collect the Sea Glass, and sell my Sea Glass jewelry to the tourists.

I was sitting there one day in June, 2005, reading "The DaVinci Code" to pass my time.

I had just read about a five-petaled rose in the book, the major symbol in a book of symbols, because it represents the Holy Grail, which is what the book is about. What I had read was, "The rose is synonymous with the Grail." and was sitting there thinking about that when a woman came back up off the beach and asked me if it was usual to find rose-colored glass.

I said, "No, rose is very rare. I don't even have any."

She said, "Well, I found a piece," and put her hand in her pocket. I expected her to pull out a small pebble. Instead, she handed me one of the most beautiful pieces of beach glass I have ever seen come off the beach.

I looked at it and was totally in awe when I saw it had a perfect five-petaled rose on it, complete with three sets of leaves: the very same rose I was reading about in the book when she walked up! (Picture below)

When I showed her what I reading in the book, she gave me the piece of sea glass, the most beautiful piece of beach glass I have seen. God forgive me, I think her name is Celia.

The finishing touch was that she was from "Santa Rosa",
or "Saint Rose", California.

A friend of mine from New Brunswick, Canada, Rachel, found a similar piece with the same pattern and managed to find it online. It was made by Jennifer Glass between 1932 and 1934, and the pattern name is "Adam", which means "man".

This is the world of magic and light I live in.
Beautiful, often not-so-sublime, synchronicities everyhwere.



Please read my "Symbol of Unity" site for how to live in a world like this, too.
