Essentially glass is obtained by the melting of mixture silica sand - sodium carbonate.
No, borax itself is not used to make glass. However, borax can be used as a fluxing agent in glass-making processes to lower the melting point of silica, one of the main ingredients in glass production.
The partly fused mixture of sand and fluxes to make glass is called frit. Frit is made by melting and cooling the mixture into a solid glass that can be used in further glass-making processes.
Glass was used as a lens protector. Now we use plastic.
The element that is used to make pink glass is selenium. This element is also used to make glass that is red in coloring.

Usually sandstone is used to supply quartz for making glass.
In early drilling of holes in glass garlic was used.
Usually sandstone is used to supply quartz for making glass.
Boron is another element commonly used to make strong glass, such as borosilicate glass. It is known for its ability to increase the strength and durability of glass products.
No; however, silver is used to make mirrors.
Stained-glass windows, yeah; gold is used to make glass red.
