Raw material in glass production (4)

I believe the answer is:

sand

(Other definitions for sand that I've seen before include "Grains by the sea" , "Result of rock erosion" , "It's used in glass-making" , "Beach/desert material" , "Rock particles; smooth" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
