Who Collects Black Glass?

Who Collects Black Glass?
Hey there! I collect sea glass, and especially treasure the black glass I find. Can you tell me anything about the patina on this shard I found a couple of days ago? Benicia? https://www.facebook.com/kelly.merrell.92/videos/10214026112384575/- obxcomber

Black Glass Patina
What causes this film? Is it a sort of Benicia iridescence? I've seen a similar patina on the outside of old black bottles, but in this shard it's on the inside curve. I'd appreciate any insight:)- obxcomber
