Pink Sea Glass
Pink manufactured glass
Also known as Rose sea glass
Markings and exact colorations may vary.
Frosted rose-pink glass with rounded surf-worn edges. A color is not proof of a piece’s age.
- Typical size
- 0.25–2 in
- How often it turns up
- Uncommon compared with clear, brown and green glass.
- Collecting
- Check local rules
- Handling
- Sharp edges
Loose glass may be collectable where permitted; follow park and protected-area rules. Do not take from archaeological sites or wreck contexts.
Check edges before picking up; dispose of sharp modern glass safely.

- Translucent glass with matte, frosted faces
- Rounded edges rather than fresh sharp breaks
