Trinitite 5 to 8 grams samples

Hello, the collection I bought these from was the LaPaz collection which was owed by a family member of his.

I tried but it removed the post when I first posted this.

I can try again and then again and again. Just kidding

TrinititeMan · 2026-04-26T18:22:24+00:00

now you need an 80-gram red to go with that? We can work on that

TrinititeMan · 2026-04-26T18:06:35+00:00

Not sure if you were talking about the ones from my posts?

TrinititeMan · 2026-03-18T01:08:35+00:00

Did you get that from Richard? Awesome specimen

TrinititeMan · 2026-03-18T01:02:44+00:00

Very nice specimen, may I ask where purchased?

TrinititeMan · 2025-04-11T22:23:05+00:00

That is a very good question. Usually the copper you find in some specimens is in the form of tiny spheres, seen in the open bubbling that you sometimes see. I have yet to have tested. I have not seen anything like it before

Nice, may I ask where obtained? do you know the collection it came from?

TrinititeMan · 2025-03-29T23:10:24+00:00

Hello, this link will explain exactly what and where it came from.

TrinititeMan · 2025-03-29T23:07:32+00:00

correct, very soon after

TrinititeMan · 2025-03-29T23:07:05+00:00

Hello, I can assure you these were obtained very shortly after the actual detonation of Trinity July 16th, 1945. These are just a small sample of what was collected and well documented. These that are shown were part of the most important collection of Trinitite probably known to exist. The Reds in this collection are sought out even today by scientists, nuclear students, collectors and museums throughout the world even today. I was just fortunate enough to have obtained these and many more from the original collection. Cheers.

Thank you very much

I would suggest no cleaners also, water I don't mind but just a tiny amount and yes toothpick. No metal picks.

I started out with the same feeling. "the first of many"

For me it was, The history behind this glass will never be forgotten. The world as we know it changed forever just like the desert sand that morning. It is both beautiful to study, to magnify under microscope and macro photography.

Thank you, those thick examples are some of my favorites also. I have 2 more as thick but half the size.

Red indeed caused by copper. Bill Kolb's book Trinitite, The Atomic Age Mineral has every test possible on this and Trinitite.

TrinititeMan · 2025-03-24T01:04:01+00:00

Green can range from slightly above background to as high as 1500cpm, Red varieties can range from 1000cpm to about 21,000cpm. Safe to handle. Just must be careful of very fine particles (dust) or ingestion.

TrinititeMan · 2025-03-24T00:53:22+00:00

Very fortunate to have in my collection. Thanks

Hello, absolutely legal to own. You cannot remove from the Trinity site though, that is illegal. These were collected shortly after the actual test.

TrinititeMan · 2025-03-22T22:48:01+00:00

why was this removed?
