How does glass become transparent if it’s made of sand. My lil brainy can’t make sense of small rocks (my knowledge of sand) becoming transparent by any process like melting or pressure.
In: Chemistry
So, the sand that glass is made of is quartz sand. You can have basalt sand, it just doesn’t look like what you’re used to. Quartz, in its purest form, is clear. Glass is melted and resolidified quartz.
