[Sea Glass™: the new Otters™, as conversational Hail Marys go.]
Yeah. Because of the color. The prolonged exposure to the water and its pH polishes it and gives it a kind of frosted quality, but it's translucent. If you but it near light, a glow comes through.
Like stained glass, but softer. It takes decades, and the glass comes from things like bottles and other glass objects that were lost overboard at sea, or in shipwrecks. Beer bottles. Vases, stuff like that.
Sunset colors are the hardest to find. Reds, oranges, yellows. Purple, because there aren't many things made of purple glass in general. The most common are white, green, and brown. Industrial bottles, clear glass.

I like the turquoise best.
