Depending on the COE also influences the price, raw borosilicate uranium glass goes for roughly $400 a lb. As a glassblower it is hard to find, we don't mind recycling broken uranium glass

I’m a boro lampworker and I remember when the old nasa uranium borosilicate tubes were still floating around and they would go for as high as 800 a tube for 50mm x2mm tubes. Haven’t seen any though since the early 2000’s a few companies do make uv tubing and rod and it’s about $100-$120 a Lbs now if I’m not mistaken. I absolutely love glass lol.

I have several pieces of this glass made by Fenton. I have one cabinet with a LED UV bulb and it gets turned on at night and we use the glow as a night light. We have found pieces and sets at garage sales. I scored a Uranium Glass oil lamp for $2.00 about two weeks ago and it was appraised for $300.00. Not a bad investment for $2.00.

Thanks for the video Shane. I have 2 green glass vases and some green wine glasses that were from my great-grandmother and i heritated them through my grandmother. I will definitly try to find out how they react under UV. I don't think it is uranium glass because it is less green in colour than what you see on pictures. But you never know. When it comes to "green" colour it is surprising how toxic that colour must have been in the past. Absinth was a yellow liquour and got coloured by toxic blue copper sulfate to make it green. Wallpaper was painted green with Scheele's green, an arsenic salt and green glass was made with uranium... i keep it with white... Oh no, that was made with lead carbonate... Yellow ? No, toxic cadmium sulphide. OK red then? Sorry, cinnaber or mercury sulphide, also toxic... Blue ? Prusian blue, a cyanide salt... Or Lapis lazuli but that comes with a price tag... Colours were toxic in the old days !!!

If you are still reading comments on this video - I just had an epiphany. Been collecting beads for years. Love Czech glass. Bought a lot of vintage from an Ebayer. Got a blacklight and my jewelry stash lit up. Over the years probably spent 40,000 on beads. Made a lot of jewelry also. Also, have over 4 lbs of bugle beads that light up. Bought them in kilos and had to wash all of them. Probably about 40 lbs Czech glass. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Careful with 365 NM. It can cause other glass to glow as well that is not UG. I would recommend 395 for any hunting. If your end goal is just, "cool glow glass" then it doesn't matter lol. I love your main video topics but, when I seen this one you earned a sub on that alone. I'm a treasure hunter to the bone but, my treasure usually glows. God bless and if your ever wondering about UG or vaseline, vaseline tends to be yellow and older in general, then I always welcome a challenging question or research project.

Radioactive red Fiestaware (uranium in the glaze) I noticed in the US has a following too and some pieces bring good money. Other manufacturers used uranium in there glazes too, but people just think of Fiestaware when you mention radioactive glaze. Also uranium glaze is a lot more radioactive. People are not into Uranium glazed products here in Australia, but uranium glass is popular.

U235? That is the bomb material. Unlikely as that is such a very small part of the U family. More likely the MUCH more plentiful U238 which is non-fissile although it does have some 235 through decomposition. They exist together in nature but are VERY hard to separate, or you can just blast your 238 with neutrons and get straight to the plutonium bits.

That's not good. Hope no one was hurt. We lost everything in a fire when I was 21, we were safe up the road phoning sister in Europe for her birthday (back when you had to book overseas calls and we didn't have a phone at home). We would normally have been sound asleep. My brother came home and found house on fire tried to get into our room but was beaten back by the heat. We got back just as brigade was telling him there was no way for them to enter building and look for us. I ran up to the group of neighbors and could hear him talking to the brigade. I called out and he literally leaped about 5 feet into the air 🤣. Lost everything except the clothes we were wearing. The salvation army looked after us for 2 days. They do some great work.

@@KleshGuitarsOfficial this is somewhat true. By definition weapons grade material needs to be primarily 80%+ u235....the remainder being uranium. The distinction here being u235 is an isotope OF uranium....big difference. Interesting side note connected with this glassware and the manhattan project : they found uranium scarce to make it because of the vast amount of it needed for just one bomb. The little boy bomb (gun type weapon) needed approx 65kg of u235 to function. Since u235 makes up less than 1% of natural uranium....
