I believe you a thinking about Diatoms. They have a shell, not a cell wall, made of silica, the same material glass is made of. They are a spectacular sight under a microscope. Because of their Strong rigid shell and reflective properties they are used in many commercial products like reflective paints, abrasives, and formerly cosmetics.
