Frequently Asked Questions
What does Mother of Pearl glass look like?
Mother of Pearl glass has a creamy white base with an iridescent pearlescent coating that creates a subtle color shift — similar to the inside of a shell — as light moves across it. It works well in light-colored terrazzo, white concrete countertops, and decorative aquariums.
What size should I choose?
Size #1 (1/8"–1/4") is finer and better suited for countertop seeding and aquarium gravel. Size #2 (1/4"–3/8") creates a more visible aggregate in terrazzo flooring and decorative concrete.
Is this glass safe for aquariums?
Yes — non-toxic and safe for fish, plants, and aquatic life.
Is this glass recycled?
Yes — 100% recycled post-consumer and post-industrial glass, processed in the USA. LEED documentation available upon request.
