vitreous is defined in many geology textbooks as a glassy shine to a substance. Ideally glass is best vitreous solid, but there are many other minerals that diplay the glassy shine, also there sometimes described as "amorphus" its means that they dont have any repeating structure over long distances. This means that their not regular structures like sodium chloride that has a repeating crystal array
