Silly question of the day
Quote
"While regular clear glass does not have substantially high iron content, it is higher than low iron glass. Due to this higher iron content, clear glass has a greenish tint to it." Why isn't a magnet attracted to glass?

Iron is magnetic only as alpha iron. Ferric oxide doesn't count, and that's the form that seems to appear in glass.
