Glass
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Glass was a type of translucent or transparent material similar to clari-crystalline. This material was most often utilized by the rich on planets with large cities. It was more prone to break than the stronger transparisteel. Those who had it installed, though, appreciated how glass offered a clearer view, favoring aesthetics over practicality. Unfortunately, even a slow-moving projectile would often be enough to shatter the entire pane into thousands of tiny, sharp fragments.
To install glass on worlds like Coruscant, workers would often use INS-444 window installation droid droids to replace a pane; once installed, CLE-004 window cleaning droid units would clean and polish it.
Glass was installed in the Naboo Embassy in 500 Republica on Coruscant. When Senator Padmé Amidala was visiting Coruscant, her room was outfitted with glass, which was shattered during an assassination attempt.
The Lost Tribe of Sith on Kesh used the force to form glass daggers, called Shikkars. These daggers were plunged into the victim's body and then broke, embedding the blade in the being's flesh. The Tribe also used glass parangs.
