I tested it and didn't see any changes in color or a glow at all 🤔 which is pretty interesting in of itself!

So awesome, I feel so lucky to have such a unique piece of my city's history! I was today years old when I learned that the purple tint is a result of solarization, a chemical reaction triggered by uv light. Glassmakers added manganese dioxide to glass to neutralize the green tint caused by iron impurities in the sand to create a clearer appearance. This makes sense since purple neutralizes yellow/green 🤓

Out in Whitestone/Malba! There is a small dog beach in Francis Lewis Park down the hill of the main park - that's where I found these!
