It washes up on the shore, usually. So down near the surf where the waves break in the shallows, that's where it's most likely to be.
[With Star falling into place on one side of Rohan as a waiting support just in case, Jotaro simply reaches for his hand instead, intent on guiding him down so they can walk (or slither) while he continues nerding out.
Because he is. Nerding out. Look at him go. It's like he's forgotten he doesn't usually like to talk much.]
It's glass that's been polished from a lot of time in the seawater. If bottles get thrown into the ocean and break, or other glass garbage ends up in the water. The pieces settle to the bottom and the movement of the water buffs down the sharp edges, and frosts over the transparency of the glass.
That's why the most common colors of sea glass are green, brown, and white — because beer bottles and things like that are the most common types of glass that might end up in the water. It's much rarer to find something like red or orange, maybe from a stained glass window or something. Turquoise — turquoise glass is just hard to find in general, because there's too much possibility for variation in the hue. It's blue-green but you can't standardize it very easily, so a lot of manufacturers won't make things out of turquoise glass. I have a few pieces back home...I've only ever found one or two, ever. They're that rare. But they're my favorite.
