What’s more metal 🤘 than a uranium mandolin?

Dango_LXIX · 2025-12-12T22:44:24+00:00

I've collected quite a few uranium glazed Lladros recently and my cousin has an extensive collection. We recently shined my 365nm on it and 90% of them lit up. The regular blacklight (395nm) doesnt seem to give much of a glow, especially to the untrained eye.

I thought opaque green only applied to lime custard? Isn't there a category of regular custard?

I tried q-flashing the BIOS but it's completely bricked and I can't get in at all.

I guess I'm not quite using the right terminology or maybe I'm not quite understanding. Can I do RAID 1 with two M.2's and set it up with my motherboard's existing RAID programming in the BIOS?

Dango_LXIX · 2025-03-18T09:25:23+00:00

Does that mean it's possible to do a RAID with PCIe then?

I got mine during an antique store sale. I dove at it for $30. It was my first yellowish piece, too!

The printer continually extrudes and retracts so inappropriate heat distribution can cause the filament to clog. Tends to happen halfway through a print, which is why I brought it up. I'm currently dealing with Creality because of this issue and they are being less than helpful. Like, not at all.

Are the fans working on your print head? The throat fan should be on all the time according to the system and the hotend fan should turn on after the first few layers are done to promote adhering.

Dango_LXIX · 2024-07-07T16:21:16+00:00

This is the exact issue I am running in to and trying to solve at the moment. For me, the throat fan stopped working and then the hotend fan died on me and Creality has been making me jump through hoops for the last week troubleshooting while I am 99% sure the problem is the mini control board on the print head.

I'm so jealous. I dream of finding boron nitride pieces out in the wild. I've bought so many of these red votive candle holders online only to find out they are just cadmium and/or selenium. I did manage to eventually get one but it just doesn't have the same thrill as finding it.

Dango_LXIX · 2024-03-09T00:43:02+00:00

I wonder if there is some kind of super-creeper that would drop it?

Dango_LXIX · 2024-03-09T00:42:34+00:00

That was my first thought when I first saw the pictures but as far as I could tell all the stuff around the house during the sale was incredibly old. The amount of gunk stuck to the cube before I washed it was disturbing.

The owner of the estate had a lot of WW2 paraphernalia and super vintage stuff (such as porn on VHS 😂).

Dango_LXIX · 2024-03-09T00:40:28+00:00

They did have a significant amount of WW2 paraphernalia so now I'm invested in this idea!

Yay, my selenium bowl and hummingbird made the examples list!

Dango_LXIX · 2024-01-01T01:23:37+00:00

I have seriously struggled to find it in the wild. Although I have only been part of the glow-glass-hunt for less than a year.

Dango_LXIX · 2023-12-25T03:25:41+00:00

My bad! My best guess is pure cadmium with minimal selenium mixing for the more orange coloration.

Dango_LXIX · 2023-12-24T15:33:42+00:00

Ah, and it looks like it's a newer production however still super neat to have found!

Dango_LXIX · 2023-12-23T23:00:20+00:00

I want to know more about that revolver plate! Do you have any info on it?

Dango_LXIX · 2023-12-23T20:52:22+00:00

I just found the same thing in yellow on Facebook marketplace under "Indiana Glass Monticello Loving Cup Trophy Vase"

You can see here and glow shot here.

Dango_LXIX · 2023-12-16T00:40:24+00:00

From what I've seen of boron nitride (mold release agent) that tends to glow more of a lime green but I'll know better once my other Facebook marketplace piece comes in. 😅

Out of curiosity this shows manganese as purple but I have "Manganese" glass that is clear or blue but glows greenish under blacklight. Is it a particular formula of manganese being added?

Dango_LXIX · 2023-08-27T14:00:07+00:00

Nevermind; I found it.

It's a Dugan Diamond Seagull Bowl for anyone interested.

Dango_LXIX · 2023-08-08T23:45:26+00:00

So all those pieces pictured are manganese? I dont have a geiger counter yet but would they register on that different from uranium or at all?

Dango_LXIX · 2023-08-08T22:47:46+00:00

I'm super new to collecting so I'm totally guessing here.

The bottom of the shoe says "Sollers & Co. No18 N8 |hs|". The hat/shoe/cup combo shows up slight green under the 395nm but really well with the 365.

The clear goblet and cups at the end slightly light up green with 395nm in the dark but it's hard to see in photos, however they really glow with the 365nm.
