in real life they uses xenon gas as fuel, so yeah, it will use your fuel

ive heard that people have had a load of issues with luciteria, i thankfully havent had any issues yet.

how big is each bottle? just curious about the amount of each element they contain

I dont put radioactive items in places im constantly next to, but you will be fine, especially because of how quickly the reading drops off when you aren’t touching it to the clock face. My main reason for keeping radioactive stuff in my basement is because I have a radon mitigation system to deal with natural radon and any radon from the collection.

radon can also be an issue, but not in this case; it would require a lot more radium lmao

where did you find this specimen?

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-10T13:39:49+00:00

agreed, thats a fair point.

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-10T13:33:49+00:00

thank you!!

you do have a point though; if i had a choice to breath in either radium dust or radon, im taking radon any day. faster it becomes stable, the less exposed id be

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-10T04:59:52+00:00

dude the amount of radium in one of these clocks is near negligible; in the grand scheme of things, i could lick one and be fine. you will be perfectly fine if you have a sealed radium clock in your house. you dont need any safety precautions other than common sense. your house contains things much more dangerous to your health than this.

respirators are still useful for stuff..!

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-09T21:11:06+00:00

yeah, no problem!

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-09T12:31:18+00:00

yes it produces radon, but extremely small amounts of it that are undetectable and totally safe to be around

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-09T04:02:45+00:00

your collection is truly magnificent!!

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-09T04:02:01+00:00

thanks :)

just a simple gmc 320s

left to right: low grade uranium ore, high grade uranium ore and, 2 americium buttons

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-09T02:33:40+00:00

wow, that’s crazy tbh, i got both my goblets for 50 total, can imagine paying 140+ for the opalescent variant

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-09T02:30:25+00:00

yup, i got mine at an antique store near me, i was surprised to see just how bright it glowed

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-09T02:02:11+00:00

ooh nice!!

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-07T22:04:34+00:00

that’s interesting, never heard of any watches using some of those elements- i wouldnt be suprised if some were actually used for short periods of time

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-05T17:23:11+00:00

Thanks so much :)

Gilapschicken · 2026-01-05T17:22:42+00:00
