They found their way into the layers of the earth, going through the environmental changes that accompany erosion and corrosion, subject to humidity, temperature, mineral exposure, amongst others. In their present form, these shards of Roman glass are a range of gorgeous colors on the spectrum, from cerulean blues to notes of vibrant orange.
