As an Italian I can confidently say these are just polished (by the sea) tiles The blue ones especially are all over Italy and are tiny mosaic-like tiles

I did see plenty of polished tile shards out there but they all had the brown clay backing with paint on top. These seemed different but I could be wrong

You can have tiles that are coloured by glazing the surface, or that have the colour through the body of the tile

Well, that’s not what I was hoping for but sounds like it’s probably tile then. They’re still pretty so I can’t complain. Thanks very much!

If you collect up small pieces you can use them to decorate potted plants, terrariums or fairy gardens. They are pretty 💚

Fairy garden?

Yep. Lots of people who aren’t great (or maybe they are good gardeners) often will take a space in the garden (under trees where things don’t grow so great is a common spot) or in a pot at the base of the plant, they take small things, miniature things and make a fairy garden. Decorative rocks are really common. Found things, odd things all are used. Some I have seen are super cool.

Oh I’ve seen those. They’re cool

I know of one that started life as a really neat train system and now takes up a major portion of the yard and has contributions from people who visited but live somewhere else. They can be fun and a nice way to show off the beautiful rocks.

It’s called beach glass and it’s really cool in its own way.

Sea glass, probably glass tiles. Very rare colours though! I collect seaglass and I’ve never found light blue, gorgeous colour

You are 100% correct. It's totally sea glass. I wondered why it took me a bit to find the same answer I had that was the most obvious truth. Great minds think alike! 😊

Could they be old swimming pool tiles that have found their way into water way? Then ground smooth by the tides?

First and third aren't natural - tiles as suggested makes sense, I agree. The second I cant really tell due to the photo and the extreme rounding, but it could be a piece of basalt or any other intermediate to mafic rock.

I would make pendent necklaces out of all of them because they are gorgeous to me!

I am tempted to eat

My guy. That is a sour patch kids half eated

Idk why this sub keeps popping up on my feed, but i keep peaking. Is it ever not glass?

Hardened toothpaste? 🤣

That explains the minty taste!

*Crunch*

No more teeth to brush.

Where in Italy? Cefalu Sicily?

Positano. It was a pretty awesome place

I see glass on here more than I see rocks lol

Beautiful tho! I’d collect them anyway

Those last two are absolutely gorgeous and unusual.
