Where do I find glass to smith with?

Question

I have ran around this game world for 100+ hours and I have never seen raw glass. Am I missing it? Or is there something special that happens when I take the skill to craft glass? I have not taken it because I have never seen glass.

Answer

Glass items are made from Refined Malachite which is in turn made by smelting 2 Malachite Ores.

Malachite Ore can be found:

• 7 veins in Steamscorch Mine, directly Northeast of Kynesgrove.
• 2 veins (along with 2 Ebony Ore veins) at the top of Throat of the World.
• 4 at Labyrinthian Thoroughfare (Hjaalmarch)
• 3 at Labyrinthian, Tribune
• 2 centered at 150 ft NE of Kynesgrove
• 1 at The Brinehammer Below Deck (The Pale)

Refined Malachite can be found:

• 3 centered at 180 ft NE of Kynesgrove
• 2 at Swindler's Den (Whiterun Hold)
• 1 at Saarthal Excavation (Winterhold)
• 1 at Understone Keep (Markarth)
• Sold by blacksmiths and general goods merchants starting at level 18 (20?)
