Development of Colored Glass Compositions Based on Basalt from the Osmonsay Deposit

The purpose of the study was to develop compositions of colored glasses based on basalt from the Osmonsay deposit. To synthesize glasses, compositions based on the basalt – quartz – soda lime system were studied. Quartz sand from the Samarkand deposit was used as a source of quartz. Transparent, translucent, and opaque colored glasses were obtained. The research demonstrated that it is possible to obtain glass of a wide range of colors without the use of coloring components.
