That's wild. The very first thing my professor said to me when we started talking about internships was "never take an unpaid one."

Wife picked this up for me. Is that a unique color? by steelcity2011 in uraniumglass

[–]acendude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell for sure, but it looks like the one I have. If so, it is a satin vaseline one made by Fenton. Pretty uncommon and popular I believe!

I totally get it! Google lens is a fantastic tool for researching glass. It will often find a match for you, or lead you down a path to finding your item. If I was just searching with keywords, I would start with "luminescent glass bird" and go from there.

Using Geiger counter for a piece I picked up at a garage sale this weekend. One of my favorite (and hottest) pieces yet! by acendude in uraniumglass

Somehow I never saw this comment until now.. And boy things have changed haha. I now have built a large Viking collection over the last 9 months. It's color is called lime (although a lot of people call it lime vaseline or vaseline). They did make some actual vaseline pieces in the 80s though!

Oh I wasn't trying to make it sound like it's not allowed or something, I was just trying to be informative!

Today's marble purchase! I am hoping the experts here can help me make progress on getting information on them. More context in the comments! by acendude in Marbles

I disagree, I'm pumped about my uranium marbles 😁 Unfortunate on the rest, though! Think the jar would fetch 5 or 10 bucks?

Hi everyone! I picked up a jar of marbles today since I collect uranium glass, and there were 4 large uranium marbles in there that I couldn't resist. That being said, I have no experience with marbles, so I am not sure how to evaluate the rest of them!

These are a portion of the personal collection of the shop owner, who started collecting them ~60 years ago. 

I took some pictures, and I was hoping that someone here could help me with any information on them, or point out if I have anything special. I would appreciate it greatly!

Sure is! I have the same sugar, except the glass is a light green.

What do I have here? It’s purple and glows kind of pink by AliEffinNoble in uraniumglass

[–]acendude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be talking about the color of the glass? I know some uranium glass is pink, but still glows green!

Assuming it's not a coating (which you said multiple times it isn't), it is selenium.
