Glass is STRONG stuff. Read a book once where the climax was she used a spell to change a rock into glass so she could break it easily. Dumbasses. Glass is MUCH stronger than (most) rocks!
We just think it's weak because when we make stuff out of it we make it thin to save material and weight. THEN it's breakable.
IIRC, quartz is about as hard as diamond. One time Mom's car had a little wet frost on the windshield and she couldn't find an ice scraper, so she used the back of her hand to clean it off. Her large diamond ring scratched the hell out of the much softer windshield glass.
Must be that "hard stuff" everyone talks about.....

Well when you consider that quartz is used in making glass and it rates a 7 on the hardness scale, which is pretty darn hard.
