Israel is one of the few locations in the world in which a series of geological and climatic phenomena coincide enabling the formation and preservation of this strikingly colorful glass. These sites date back to the period of the Romans almost 2000 years ago, where contact with mineral rich soil and oxidation combined to form layers resembling Opal, called Patina, enabling the exquisite surface coloring which varies depending on the minerals to which the glass has been exposed.
