These are chunks of glass
that contain approximately 3% Uranium 238 ( by weight ).
This small amount of Uranium is added to the glass while it's still in
the furnace and in a molten state.
As the Uranium dissolves into the red-hot glass, it takes on the
tell-tale pale green color of Uranium Glass.
Because of the added Uranium in the glass, it glows brightly
under Ultraviolet light ( Blacklight ).
The small amount of radiation that the glass emits will also register on
sensitive Geiger Counters.
The Uranium Glass pieces do not emit high or dangerous levels of
radiation, and are completely safe to handle from a radiation
standpoint. The individual glass fragments however may have sharp edges
and should be handled with care.
A small sample of Uranium ore (the type used to make this particular
type of glass) is included.

take note: Uranium Glass is no longer manufactured
anywhere in the World. Although a few glass manufacturers still
have small quantities that they are keeping for
historical purposes, no one plans on manufacturing any in the
future. Once our stock is sold out, we never expect to see any
again. |
