So I just got this idea. What if we have an NPC that shows up in the Spring and Autumn who accepts Lightening Struck Sand to make glass items.
Maybe the developed the skill and knowledge from wherever they live and they like to make visits to islands to get away from where they live. While doing so, they make glass items while they temporarily stay on the player's island for one week in the Spring and one week in the Autumn. Maybe the NPC could be a creature that is often associated with heat, thunderstorms or sand. Thinking perhaps a Bull (minotaur), Dragon, or Eagle (thunderbird).
It is odd that we have a game about decorating outside, but none of those lawn furniture that people have with glass tables and the umbrella coming out of them.
But crafting/trading stuff for Glass items in general would be really cool for this game.
Thunderstorms are suppose to be more frequent in the Spring and Autumn (or at least it is where I live). When lightening hits sand it makes these cool things that can be seen Here. In real life they can be worth a pretty penny. Essentially it is glass from the sand melting from the heat of the lightening. It would be cool to find these after a thunderstorm on the beaches to dig up like the fossils. We can give them to the NPC and they can craft or trade us their glass creations.
If we don't want to craft/trade with it, perhaps we could sell it to nooks for a nice chunk of bells.
What do you think? Feel free to add/change my idea up or share your own.
