36 Pcs PALE LIME GREEN Beach Combed Sea Glass, UV Vaseline Glass, TINIES

Description: A lot with 36 mostly well frosted pieces of rare PALE LIME GREEN beach combed sea glass ("Vaseline Glass") from the Pacific Northwest; these were chosen for their generally TINY sizes (do compare in the photo with the dime!), and the quality is what I would call "near jewelry grade." This is a fairly rare kind of seaglass, coming from vintage/antique "Vaseline Glass," most popular between the 1880's up to about 1940. The glass is a delicate yellow-green, a color created by the addition of a small amount of uranium salts (uranium dioxide) to the glass batch. It's characteristic by lighting up bright yellow/yellow-green under a UV light It is quite rare as sea glass, and is typically only found near coastal towns with active commerce in 1880-1920 (I happen to live in such a place!). Please note: The picture I took in UV light was done with a professional UV lamp designed to detect repairs in antique documents. Having a "UV filter" on your phone might not show it nearly as intensely! Condition, etc.: Pieces are in mostly well frosted condition and are rounded but there ARE some small edge faults, making them "near" jewelry quality. Range of TINY sizes measure from just about 1/4" (6mm) long to around 3/8" (10mm) long. Very presentable pieces in a seldom offered type of sea glass; could be used for jewelry, or perhaps for other creative ventures — or just for your collection! Please check all the photos! I try to give an impression of both SIZE (glass is pictured with a US Dime for scale reference) and QUALITY (large, clear close-up images) so you can clearly see what you are buying. Obvious flaws/problems will be mentioned and photographed, when possible. Thank you for looking at my eBay listings with sea glass and other beach treasures! Please take a moment to look at my other items; discounted shipping is offered when you buy and pay for multiple lots at the same time, and I usually have MANY lots with sea glass listed (click the "Shipping & payments" tab for full details). FREE SHIPPING for total purchases over $75.00! Note the relatively low shipping costs-- most lots ship via USPS first class mail to save expenses. $8.50 to ship and "handle" a single little piece of glass by Priority Mail strikes me as a bit extravagant. Priority Mail is used for bulkier and heavier items, or for multiple-item purchases with 5 or more items. Yes, overseas shipping has become quite expenses, but blame the USPS, not me! Note: I sell only genuine beach combed sea glass and pottery! All glass and pottery I offer for sale on eBay was collected either by me and my wife, in person and is "natural," as found on various local and regional beaches, as well as a few items from further afield. When location of origin is known, it will be in the listing. I do not tumble, treat, oil or otherwise "improve" the glass I sell-- what you see is what you get. I have been a beach comber and sea glass collector for about 45 years-- since I was a small child.
