if you look at the pictures in this post, you might be surprised. Why? because it contains the glass beach pieces with a variety of colors. early mining times I thought that it was intentional beach sprinkled with bits of glass to attract tourists. but not like I expected. Based
frotbragg site, that
glass beach came from the garbage dumped on the beach. rubbish such as old cars, household garbage, and that certainly includes a lot of glass.
