No, alloys with some of the properties of glass in terms of atomic arrangement but not transparent.

Breakable, and not transparent? Sounds like the worst of two worlds ... ;)

Harder, hard to corrode. Those are important properties and you could always make a composite (sandwich) of more than one material.

"Glass" means non-crystalline, basically. It doesn't mean that it is like glass.
