Seeing how easy this stuff would be to get, I doubt the impact it would do, would make much of a differnece whatsoever, and a waste of a hand space. Their good ideas, just out of balance.

Those were most likely just oversized daggers used for religious rituals. The closest you can come to a usable stone sword is a macuahuitl.

i imagine most early folk would use flint knives or spears instead, a stone sword sounds pretty impractical

Well yeah, they're not really swords. You can't make a sword out of rock, it'd break.

The line between glass and rock is thin. Flint is quite glassy, and I'm guessing all the rocks in the game are flint (good luck knapping a limestone arrow tip).

Difference is that glass is a liquid.
