before jumpping to conclusions, we need to clearify the question,

    "Are there any mirrors made from non-conductive materials?

Wiki says - A mirror is an object that reflects light in such a way 
that, for incident light in some range of wavelengths, the reflected 
light preserves many or most of the detailed physical characteristics of 
the original light. This is different from other light-reflecting 
objects that do not preserve much of the original wave signal other than 
color and diffuse reflected light.

The most familiar type of mirror is the plane mirror, which has a flat 
screen surface. Curved mirrors are also used, to produce magnified or 
diminished images or focus light or simply distort the reflected image.

Mirrors are commonly used for personal grooming or admiring oneself (in 
which case the archaic term looking-glass is sometimes still 
used[clarification needed]), decoration, and architecture. Mirrors are 
also used in scientific apparatus such as telescopes and lasers, 
cameras, and industrial machinery. Most mirrors are designed for visible 
light; however, mirrors designed for other wavelengths of 
electromagnetic radiation are also used."
