A special kind of glass, in which silicate molecules form pseudo-organic chains to give it incredible strength. It has approximately 10 times the tensile and compressive strength of 'normal' glass of the same mass, but more than a thousand times the resistance to twisting. When it does break, however, torsion glass usually shatters entirely as stress fractures spread along the network of long chain molecules within its structure.
