Pirate Glass: Black Sea Glass
From the Golden Age of Piracy, a single type of glass stands apart from all sea glass; Black sea glass or Pirate Glass. The type of glass bottles used in the sea trade contained iron and other strengtheners that caused the glass to change color over the years of being in the sea. Because of this, Pirate Glass is dated to that time period definitively. Many of these bottles began thier new lives from wrecked ships due to storms and piracy. When you touch Pirate Glass, you reach further backwards in time than any other sea glass.
