Experience a sea glass hunt on a beach historically known for sea glass and close to the old Port Angeles beach dump. See our etsy shop for our custom made sea glass jewelry. www.etsy.com/shop/PNWBeachTre...
Ediz hook (pronounced "Eddie's") is a natural formation created by the deposits of silt and debris from the Elwha River, just a couple of miles to the west. Port Angeles is a small city on the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. The Olympic Peninsula is the northwest tip of the continental United States ( it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here :-). A short 18 mile swim from where this video was shot will put you in the harbor of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (the capital of BC) on Vancouver Island. To the south are the Olympic mountains rising nearly 10,000 feet (Mount Olympus) from sea level.
totally disagree.... seeding does occur and I've been seeing it on Glass Beach in Port Townsend for two years. Those fresh pieces of blue cobalt that I saw freshly placed in 2016 on Glass Beach are still jagged and they are thinner pieces. I've been out there 20+ times. The older and thicker pieces take decades to become rounded and to have that peculiar frosted look that only years of sea water can produce. No seeding can take only a few months to produce the results that genuine wave action in sea water can produce over several decades.
Sea glass used in hand made jewelry can bring a nice dollar value... my sea glass necklaces cost $43.00 on my etsy.com page. see my store on etsy. www.etsy.com/shop/PNWBeachTreasures?ref=search_shop_redirect
yes... I do appreciate your help pronouncing Ediz! I've had many, many comments about that over the last two years since I posted the video. It's kind of like nonlocals trying to pronounce Sequim -"Seequim"
This stone actually glass that was thrown out on the beach. After many years it has been made round and given a frosty outer surface. This quality of glass like stone is of high quality and can be made into jewelry. It is not common to find this quality of sea glass. Normal sea glass that is sharp and not on the beach very long is not worth anything but maybe as a piece of art used in an art project. The longer sea glass is on a surf tumbled beach the more valuable it becomes.
some people sell their sea glass on-line with the more rare colors being more expensive. Reds, yellows, cobalt blues are rare but the deep purples or orange pieces that are most rare can be found on Etsy.com. The prices for genuine sea glass usually run around $15.00 to $20.00 for a handful of pieces. Please make sure you are selling jewelry quality sea glass that has been genuinely tumbled on the beach. Many pieces of sea glass that is genuinely found on the beach may not be jewelry quality with nicks and jagged edges. This is called craft quality and is not as valuable. Jewelry quality is rounded with no chips and frosted all around from being tumbled for many years on the beach. Faked sea glass can not replicate this process that creates the frosted look. Fake sea glass is usually called "cultured" sea glass. That means it has been made in a tumbler with grit or sand to copy the effects of the wave action and sand erosion that happens after many years on the beach. The sea glass in my videos has been on the beach for at lease 60 to 70 years.
This piece of sea glass was found on the Juan De Fuca strait in Washington State in the United States. The peninsula it was found on is called the Ediz Hook in Port Angeles, Washington State... because it goes out into the ocean in an angle like a hook. You can look north across the water to the north and see Canada! Thank you for watching.
نعم ، هذا هو الزجاج الذي سقط على الشاطئ لسنوات عديدة. يمكن أن تكون ذات قيمة إذا تم تصنيعها في المجوهرات. انظر متجر etsy.com حيث نصنع الأقراط والقلائد من زجاج البحر.
I live here, and it's honestly pronounced both ways. Please don't be hard on yourself sir! Some say Ed-Eeez Hook some say Ed-iz hook. Either way, people know what you mean. Thanks for doing a video! Some years we will have crazy amounts of large jelly fish that will wash up on shore, it's crazy. It's definitely an amazing place to live. Growing up, you don't necessarily appreciate it as much (so you move away after HS), but then you usually come back. Haha! 😊
