At Fort Bragg in northern California is the world’s only Sea Glass Museum (http://www.internationalseaglassmuseum.com/).  Fort Bragg has the highest concentration of sea glass in the world!  In the past sea glass was called “Mermaid’s Tears”. Folklore said that mermaids cried every time a sailor was lost at sea, and their tears washed ashore as sea glass. When we visited the museum, we received sea glass collecting tips from the owner, Captain Cass Forrington.  What a treat!
