About GlassHide

Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5 - 6½
Name:
From the Celtic word "glas" ("bluish-green")
A non-crystalline, amorphous, relatively homogeneous solid material with a random liquid-like structure generally formed due to rapid cooling of a liquid.

Glasses can be natural rocktypes (glassy rock, including obsidian, lechatelierite, pseudotachylite or tektite) or artificial materials (e.g., crystal glass and slags). Most natural and artificial glasses are predominantly composed of silica with variable amounts of impurities, especially alkalis.

Crystals in rapidly cooled volcanic rocks may contain melt inclusions: tiny inclusions of frozen magma, i.e., glass, which can be studied to help determine the origin of the rock.

In gemmology, man-made glasses have been used as gems since the invention of glass manufacture, and special glass varieties, such as lead glass or crystal glass, containing lead and other additives, have been used to simulate more valuable gemstones, such as diamond.
