Definitions from the WebNatural GlassDescription:Natural glass, also known as volcanic glass or obsidian, is a type of glass that forms from the rapid cooling of volcanic lava. It is formed when molten lava cools too quickly for any crystalline structures to form, resulting in a smooth, non-crystalline substance. Natural glass can occur in a variety of colors and is often characterized by its shiny and reflective appearance. Senses and Usages:Sense 1:As a noun, natural glass refers to a type of glass formed through the natural geological processes of volcanic activity. It is commonly found in regions with active or dormant volcanoes, such as Hawaii, Iceland, and Indonesia. Example sentence: The volcanic eruption resulted in the formation of a large deposit of natural glass along the slopes of the mountain. Sense 2:As an adjective, natural glass describes anything that is made to resemble or imitate the appearance of volcanic glass, usually in terms of its color, texture, or transparency. Example sentence: The artist used a unique combination of pigments to create a painting with a natural glass-like finish. Related Products: | ||||
