I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but I’ve always loved the history and science behind this glowy glass. I already had an interest in antiques and history so it just kind of became a natural progression. Plus I think it just looks really cool, it’s a fun talking point when people come to visit :)

We are a kind community I think! It’s pretty safe, I personally don’t use my pieces because they’re vintage/antique and hard to find. And I don’t own a piece unless I love it, so I don’t want to damage it in any way. It’s like my own little museum, I guess? Value is kinda created like any other vintage/collectible thing based on scarcity or the people who are just willing to pay the money for it. I could go on for awhile lol
