Beauty is a difficult concept, as they are still bits of glass, just corroded into a more pleasant shape for touching and all that.

Then again maybe we have aesthetic preference for round forms as opposed to jagged ones, and this could possibly originate from the sensation how sharp things are painful, and pain is bad and thus not pretty.
