Raman microprobe spectra were measured to identify the crystalline nat
ure of solid inclusions found on the surfaces of bubbles in glasses fo
rmed during the sulfur oxide treatment of sodium calcium silicate glas
s melts. Analysis of the spectra clearly indicates that the major comp
onent in the solid inclusions was the sodium sulfate (form III) phase.
