Natural glass is real.  When lightning strikes sandy ground, it heats it such that it melts, and cools into glass.  I actually collect these RL, and know a guy who makes them artificially by shooting off toy rockets with long wires attached during storms.  The wires are grounded in a barrel of sand.

I take it this guy is an xkcd fan?
