When we remodel our kitchen (next on the list after a successful bedroom
renovation that is getting rave reviews from SWMBO) I'm pushing for
recycled ground glass in concrete or resin for the counters. It's as
close to bullet-proof as you can get, which granite or marble certainly
are not.

Swingman built a house and used that ground glass counter top material, IIRC
it had local beer joint broken beer bottle glass in it. Much of the top has
chunks of glass on the surface, it is flat, but I have to wonder how
bullet-proof that glass is. I could see a heavy object chipping the class.
The counter top appearance reminded me of taffy, strange indeed.
