glass is a prime example-- made of sand.

Concrete is another.

I disagree.

Concrete is made by mixing cement and various aggregates, such as sand, pebbles, gravel, or shale, with water. Cement is a mixture of clay and limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock consisting predominantly of calcium carbonate, which is formed from the skeletons of marine microorganisms and coral. Concrete is made from once living things.
