    Many years ago i was in a "Glashütte". Baically a German Glass producer. they explained us there that to get rid of of the greenish tone from the Iron impurities they add "braunstein" which is, if my School chemistry doesnt fail me, Mangandioxid. While Iron is the yellowish green tone Mangandioxid will make it violett. Both are complementary colours so you end up with gray clear glass. Thats what they at least explained to us.
    But seeing as you mentioned making soap you propably knew that the Mangandioxid is know as "Glasmacherseife", Glas maker soap.

      Wow - people didn't bother to watch the video or his other videos. THIS video says he TRIED just using sand. It doesn't make clear glass and the melting point is too high.
      As for obsidian, he's done that before. That was a fun video.

      @@chudzy the one form of meteoric glass that i know of is Moldavite and its actually the same co-efficiency as borocilicate and can be used along side it. i know some artists who use it in their Pipes. its expensive but cool. its like a pale green when mixed with clear. i dont know if its used in soft glass which is the type of glass work he is working with. the co-efficiency of soft glass and boro are different. boro is basically pyrex so it gets colder faster and is a much thicker consistency at the low levels that soft glass melts at. soft glass is also the only type of glass you can make prince Rupert drops from. those dont work with borocilicate...sorry for my poor grammar

    Hi Andy,
    I really enjoyed the video. It's amazing to see how far you've come. Have you considered washing your sand with hot HCl to remove any trace iron impurities? When you dissolved your roasted sand/NaOH mixture and filtered out the insolubles, the color was reddish brown. To me, that suggests there were Fe(III) ions in solution. If you were to wash your sand in HCL with your sep funnel (followed by washing steps with distilled water) a few times before the roasting step, I bet you could greatly reduce the iron impurities. Anyways good luck.
