Natalie unboxes something you've probably come across while walking along a beach: sea glass! Interestingly, these are also known as "mermaid's tears." So are mermaids... real? Natalie walks you through exactly what these are and how they're created.

love sea glass! I have 4 huge jars of it, mined from the Maine coast. Love hunting for it! I never heard the thing about mermaid tears. Blue is definitely rare, that is a great blue piece!

I have pink sea glass, it's even got a design, but I lost it! It's somewhere in my house! I didn't know it was so rare, that is cool!

I found a huge piece in Manitou Springs, CO once. It was probably 6"x4", but I have no idea where it went.

I have blue sea glass, and green and brown and white, I LOVE SEA GLASS AND THIS CHANNEL! Also you can determine how old it is from its sides, sharp size means around 1-3 years, of round then it means it's around 5-10 years,

That's so cool! I didn't know you could tell the age of sea glass like that (I'm an avid sea glass collector myself! :D ) I adore the deep blue sort of sea glass but I can never find that many specimens :(

I think that completely natural sea glass is possible for instance if lightning would strike sand on a beach and make natural glass and then have it go in to the ocean or some body of water I think that over time it would collect impurities to change color or it might get more rounded its just a guess or hypothesis i made tell me what you think

Alexis Rodriguez it just depends on how long they've been in the water. The longer they've been in the frontier and rounder it will be.
