It take's more than just sand to make glass :wink:

Glass is a combination of sand, flint, spar, or some other silicious substances, with one or other of the fixed alkalies, and in some cases with a metallic oxide. Of the alkalies, soda is commonly preferred.

Def post a picture of it...there was a type of glass that was produced mid century I belived called "vaseline glass" (as I've heard it called) that is a yellowish/green color that was made with uranium salt...it always reminded me of the color of antifreeze. I had a few pieces that were "salt pinch" containers, but value-wise wasn't but a few dollars apiece. Google that info to see if it matches your glass. Maybe not, hope yours is something really good, but inquiring minds want to know...
