- joshlegs 7y agoadditionally, isnt glass a semi natural occurring substance? Im pretty sure ive heard of lightning strikes in deserts/sand that created glass.
- athenot 7y agoI never heard of that but TIL it's called Fulgurite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgurite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgurite
