Default Re: how to combine the two sentences?

Quote:
Lava is made of silica.
Sand and glass are composed of the same material of silica.
"Lava is made of silica, the same material which is comprised in sand and glass."
or
"Lava is made of silica which is the same material comprised in sand and glass."

(Both above sentences avoid repeating "of" in the subordinate clause.)
