Extremely Rare Black Sea Glass Treasure

I feel compelled to share this everywhere I can. I believe that this extremely rare piece of black sea glass's origination can be found if I post it enough and enough people see it. I remember posting photos of a soft aquamarine blue cylindrical container which I had found about 1 1/2 years ago and nobody knew where it came from. That story is next :D

I look for sea glass for several reasons.
1. It gives me the time I need to be close to God. The feeling I have when I'm at the beach is hard to explain but I think that other beach goers, for whatever reasons they go, will know that feeling I'm talking about. When I get home I feel much more relaxed. While walking and collecting I can sort things out in my mind easier and I feel stronger spiritually.

2. I Love sea glass and shells too. And most recently I've also been collecting lava rocks, black, red, and orange. I get this high when I see a piece of sea glass, especially the aquamarine and the way it just glistens in the sun and the water on it makes the sunlight sparkle off of it. I get so excited and I run to pick it up before the waves wash it out!

3. I really and truly love to make jewelry out of sea glass and shells and now lava rocks. It's not just making jewelry that I get excited about, it's jewelry from those materials and also seeds, especially seeds from Maui, oh and feathers but feathers are more of an added detail rather than the main character.

I never needed an excuse to go to the beach. Our ohana were avid beach goers waaaayyyyy before I started to collect sea glass. So on this particular summer day, I took my children, grandson and nephews to the beach to refresh during the hot summer day and...I found this beautiful extremely rare black sea glass...read more here.

Natural Maui Ohana Etsy Store

When we first started collecting we did so to keep us occupied while my son bodyboarded. Sometimes we would be at the beach for 2 hrs. sometimes all day depending on the surf and whether or not we had something to do. On his bodyboard breaks my son would come and help us collect sea glass and he also is the one that found most of our whole shells. He just has a knack for it. Both of my children collected much of the sea glass we use in our jewelry and also many of my nieces and nephews would help out too so it really is an ohana affair. Now, when my older nieces and nephews go to the beach they collect for us.

Happily, my grandson, who will be turning 2 this Sunday, July 31st has also been blessed with the knack for collecting pretty shells and sea glass :D I enjoy taking him and looking at his face all concentrating on what he's picking up. He really looks and out of many shells he'll pick one and hand it to me. Oh that cuddly boy.

He'll be here in a few minutes and as soon as he comes, he, my youngest girl and I will be going sea glass hunting. My son is bodyboarding with his Uncle and cousin today so we'll probably meet up with them somewhere on Maui :D

After that, we'll come home and I'll be making some new jewelry for our new Natural Maui Ohana Etsy Store :D

I Love what I do,the whole of it!
