your thinking of lava rocks probably
The definition of glass is a super cooled liquid. Any liquid that is super cooled takes on the properties of glass. Glass as you think of it is just super cooled silica. What happens is that it is cooled so quickly that it doesn't actually undergo a phase change back to a solid. In reality glass is just an incredibly slow moving liquid.
An igneous rock that cooled very quickly is called a volcanic glass, such as obsidian. These rocks lack a crystalline structure due to rapid cooling, resulting in a more glass-like texture. Their composition is similar to that of other igneous rocks but with a characteristic lack of defined mineral grains.
Because that's what they look like - like a quickly-moving star, that disappears after a second or a few seconds.
Obsidian's glassy texture indicates that the magma cooled rapidly, preventing crystallization of minerals. This rapid cooling does not allow enough time for the minerals to form and grow, resulting in the formation of an amorphous, glass-like rock.
No, it is not true that a liquid always forms a crystal when cooled very quickly. Rapid cooling can lead to the formation of an amorphous solid or glass instead of a crystalline structure, as the atoms do not have enough time to arrange themselves into an ordered pattern. This phenomenon is common in materials like glass and some polymers. Crystallization often requires slower cooling to allow for the necessary atomic arrangement.
Covered in glass, or something that looks like glass.
yes you can get a tan through glass but not as quickly as without glass. glass is like sunscreen

To create a paint that looks like stained glass, you can mix transparent glass paint with a medium that gives it a glossy finish. Apply the paint in thin layers to mimic the vibrant and translucent look of stained glass.
Yes, glass can contract when subjected to cold temperatures, causing it to slightly shrink in size. This process is known as thermal contraction and is a characteristic property of materials like glass.
It has a large green steam. The top looks like dark pink the shape it looks like glass rose.
When you recycle glass make shure it is glass and it has to be glass not ceramic cookware (which looks alot like glass and can break simmilar to it), fiber glass or plexiglass.
