There could be several rocks used in the making of glass, but the main constituent material used in making glass is quartz. The rock which is used most for supplying the quartz used in glass making is sandstone.

yes, different types of rock probably do make different types of glass
Volcanic glass, also called obsidian.
== == There are several different ways that people use sedimentary rocks. The chalk used in classrooms around the world is a type of sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is used in concrete, building stones, antacids, soil conditioner, and steel making. Coal is another sedimentary rock which is used to produce heat and electricity. Shale is used to make brick. Sandstone is used in construction and glass production.
The most common rock is an igneous rock e.g. Granite.
Crystals are the form that minerals take upon solidification. Metamorphic is a term used to describe a rock that undergoes a chemical or mineral transformation from heat or pressure. New crystals can form in rock undergoing metamorphosis, but the crystals themselves are not considered metamorphic.
Usually sandstone is used to supply quartz for making glass.

this rock is used for smelting and making glass
The sedimentary rock that is used in making cement is limestone. Cement, which is used in making concrete, is a mixture of marl and lime.
Obsidian is an extremely sharp type of glass, so it is often used to make knives and scalpels.
The element that is used to make pink glass is selenium. This element is also used to make glass that is red in coloring.
What capital resources are used to make glass?
Volcanic glass, also called obsidian.
It is not a pure substance. The glass is formed by the fusion of certain chemicals used to make the glass. The lid may be tin or plastic. The pebbles may be a mixture of various rock types.
Sandstone is used as a building stone and it is used as an indicator of erosional and depositional processes by geologists. And, limestone are used as a soil conditioner, in the manufacture of glass, in agriculture and even in jewellery.
