A part of the ancient past is now your very own. These pieces of history
were harvested from the rocky Northeast England coastline; the final
resting place of Ancient Sea Glass. These irreplaceable pieces are
remnants of a glass making industry established by the Romans living in
ancient England and carried on by local artisans into the 1800's. Their
unique, one of a kind shapes result from decades of natural tumbling on
the rocky floor of the North Sea. Little by little these rare gems are
diminishing and one day they will be forever lost under mounds of rock
and sand, leaving only the legends of what was known by the Romans as
"MERMAIDS TEARS".
