Ocean City Beach Glass · Ocean City, Maryland

How tell real sea glass from craft-shop fakes?

Answer

Natural pieces show uneven frosting, rounded edges, and micro-pitting; tumbled craft glass looks uniform and freshly drilled for jewelry. Boardwalk shops sell both finished art and supplies—label your jar “found” versus “bought” for honest souvenirs.
