No. By definition, a mineral must have a crystalline structure. Glass does not have a crystalline structure.
nope its a glass structure...
The glass has amorphous structure. It is mean that it made up of very long chain of atoms.
Glass is not a subset of quartz because glass does not fit the definition of a mineral in that it has no crystalline structure.

an insulator
Perhaps because the glass is in amorphous structure and ceramic is in crystalline structure. Glass is a better conductor of heat than ceramic is.
In order to be a mineral, substances need to have fixed internal crystalline structure. Natural glass does not.
Glass comes from sand. So it's probably its atomic structure.
Volcanic glass is not a mineral. It's composition is complex, and their is no crystalline structure.
memory play
Grass does not incorporate silicon dioxide (the material glass is made from) into its structure, so - NO - there is no glass inside grass.
