Some items in the dungeon are made of '''glass'''. Glass is a fragile [[material]], so items made of glass will tend to break when they are struck by a [[force bolt]] or [[wand of striking]], when they are thrown, when they are dropped while [[levitation|levitating]], and when they are dropped down [[stairs]].

For worthless pieces of colored glass, see Gem.

Glass is a material that appears in NetHack. Most glass items are fragile and break when thrown or subjected to certain kinds of blunt force. However, glass artifacts and gems are not fragile.[1]

"Crystal" objects in NetHack, excluding the dilithium crystal, are actually made of glass.
