A HUGE collection of tesserae for use in mosaic and other art projects. "Tesserae" means "a small block of stone, tile, glass, or other material used in the construction of a mosaic". This collection is made up of plastic tubs filled with broken bits of interesting china; bags of colorful half marbles; bags of glazed tile pieces of varying sizes; a bag of glass/mirror shards; and a fair number of "word" tiles that say things like "Passion" and "Dream". There is about 50 pounds of tesserae altogether.
