Leland Blue: History of Michigan Slag Glass
Leland Blue is a slag glass formed during 19th-century iron production in Michigan. Discarded into Lake Michigan, it was naturally transformed by erosion into smooth blue fragments. Today used in jewelry, it stands out for its unique textures, internal bubbles, and industrial origin. This material embodies the transition from industrial waste to a distinctive lapidary resource shaped by time and environment.
