    Pink Sea Glass

    Pink sea glass is extremely rare and is often highly prized by collectors. The color of sea glass is determined by the type of glass and the minerals that were used to make it.
     
    Pink sea glass is typically made from glass that contains manganese, which is a metallic element that can be found in a variety of minerals. When manganese is added to the molten glass mixture, it reacts with the other minerals in the glass to produce a pink or violet color. The intensity of the pink color depends on the amount of manganese that is used, as well as the other minerals present in the glass.
     
    Manganese was once commonly used in the production of glass to decolorize it and to create a variety of colors, including pink, violet, and purple. However, it fell out of favor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to the development of new decolorizing agents. As a result, pink sea glass is relatively uncommon and is often highly sought after by collectors.
