actually not all glass is artificial...
it is made from sand...
In nature, glasses are formed when sand and/or rocks, often high in silica, are heated to high temperatures and then cooled rapidly. The Glass in Nature display shows specimens of glass made in nature. Obsidian or volcanic glass, for example, is molten rock that has quickly cooled, becoming rock in a glassy state.

∙ 11y agoA good question!
Not really as it's artificial. However it is fused silica, which occurs naturally as quartz, and the main ingredient of glass is indeed quartz (as sand).
