Hi Buzz...

The iron in sand used for bottle production tends to make the glass a greenish-blue, what we call aqua: the most common tint. When bottle manufacturers wanted to produce clear glass (to promote purity?), they used manganese (turn of the century). On exposure to sunlight, the glass slowly turns amethyst, or purple, in color.

Welcome to the forum...
