Foam glass may include natural glass, wherein the foam glass includes greater than 5% alumina by weight of the foam glass and has a coefficient of thermal expansion ranging between 4×10-6 ppm/° C. and 6×10-6 ppm/° C. A composition for making foam glass may include natural glass including at least 5% alumina by weight of the composition, soda ash including less than 10% by weight of the composition, and boric acid including at least 5% by weight of the composition. A method for making foam glass may include mixing natural glass with boron to form a mixture, milling the mixture, melting the mixture at a temperature of at least 900° C., and allowing the melted mixture to cool, such that the foam glass includes at least 5% alumina by weight of the foam glass and at least 5% boron oxide by weight of the foam glass.
