Jewell Jeannette Glass (December 24, 1888 – January 28, 1966) was an American mineralogist and geosciences educator whose research focused on discovery and analysis of minerals, particularly those found within the United States of America.
She was raised in Mississippi and in 1918 moved to Washington, DC to accept a War Department civil service position.
In addition to producing over 30 research publications and contributing her expertise to many others (e.g.[4]), Glass also served as a geosciences educator throughout her life.
[5] Beyond her published works and the students she trained, Glass bequeathed lasting gifts to two organizations with which she had a life-long affiliation, the Mineralogical Society of America and the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club.
[7] In 1968, the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club purchased land adjoining the cabin, which Glass originally willed to her life-long friend and collaborator[8] Lena Clemmons Artz, and dedicated this cabin as the Glass House, which is maintained to this day as a resource for hikers in Fort Valley.
