Craigo79 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I was invited to a friends house to look at her collection and photographed these which I liked. Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Did you take any closeups? I would like a closer look at the one that’s glowing in two colors. Link to comment
Fandyus Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I also recently got some curious glass. Five wine glasses, three fluoresce in orange, one in green (so I suspect uranium) and one doesn't fluoresce and is just blue. I was gonna post about it but wasn't happy with the photos. Link to comment

Andrea B. Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 A few years ago we had some glass fluorescence posted if you want to search around. It is always fascinating to see this kind of fluorescence. I like this group photo of all the glass together because it really makes the point about the fluor. Thank you for contributing this interesting photo. Question: Was the uranium in this glass harmful in any way to the owner/user of the glassware? (I should probably go google that up!)

ulf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I measured some of my uranium glass with a geiger counter and it was not very much above background radiation. My thoriated old Canon 35/2.0 was much worse. Link to comment
