Uranium Glass mounted sample...

Uranium glass sample mounted in a specimen display case, includes one free UV keyring light that can be used to demonstrate the fluorescence of Uranium glass.

These glass samples are perfectly legal to own and sell in the UK and they are NOT banned or restricted on ebay or from shipping via Royal Mail.

These Uranium Glass samples are not toys and are not suitable for children as they contain small parts and as such represent a choking hazard.

Keep out of reach of children at all times.

  • These are designed primarily as a display piece for collectors and people with an interest in Uranium glass, the Uranium glass sample has a mass between three and four grams and is fixed to the domed resin base with silicone. The display case bottom is white plastic and it has a clear plastic cover.
  • We have included several high quality images of the Uranium glass, some show the Uranium glass in ordinary daylight and some while illuminated by ultraviolet light (which makes the Uranium glass fluoresce with an eerie green yellow glow), we have also included two images showing the Uranium glass samples next to rulers so that you can have some idea of the scale, so please be sure to look at all the images.
  • Please read the full description.

    What is included...

    This listing is for one(1) mounted Uranium glass sample and one(1) free UV keyring light, the rulers used in some of the images are used to provide a sense of scale and are NOT included.

    Can this be used as a Geiger counter check source...

    Probably not...

    These are designed as a display piece not as a Geiger counter check source.

    The Geiger counter would have to be very sensitive, if you are looking for a Geiger counter check source please take a look at what else we have in our ebay shop, Uranium glazed pottery makes a good choice.

    What is Uranium Glass...

    A very brief history and explanation...

    Uranium glass is called Uranium glass because it contains Uranium, it is mildly radioactive and its activity depends upon the amount of Uranium in the glass and whether it is natural or depleted Uranium.

    The invention of Uranium glass is generally credited to Josef Reidel in 1830s Bohemia; he named the two types he produced Annagrun for the yellow-green glass and Annagelb for the yellow glass. However, yellow glass containing Uranium oxide has also been found in a mosaic in Italy which was dated to around 79 AD - so it looks like the idea wasn’t so ‘new’ after all!

    By the 1940s Uranium glass production had spread to Western Europe including France and England; it was also being produced in Japan and the USA. Between 1943 and 1958 American and UK governments did ban the use of uranium salts for commercial use as they wanted Uranium restricted to military use; so most Uranium glass produced after the early 1940s contains depleted Uranium as opposed to natural Uranium

    Uranium glass in its various forms is often called canary glass, custard glass, Vaseline glass or Depression glass. It has been used for all sorts of items including jewellery, tableware, lamps and vases and was very popular in 1920s and 1930s ‘Art Deco’ style glassware objects.

    Uranium glass was made according to many different recipes using different oxides or salts of Uranium depending on the colour required. It fluoresces with an eerie yellow green glow under UV light – but it does not ‘glow in the dark’ by itself! How bright the glass fluoresces depends on the amount of Uranium dissolved in the glass and also which other substances have been added to the glass to affect colour and opacity.

    Does Uranium glass glow in the dark...

    No, Uranium glass does not glow in the dark on its own...

    Uranium glass fluoresces with an eerie green yellow glow under UV light, how brightly it fluoresces depends on how much Uranium is dissolved in the glass, it also depends on a number of other factors such as the opacity of the glass and any other ingredients added to the glass, it also depends on the temperature of the glass, as Uranium glass gets hot its fluorescence diminishes, the wavelength of the UV light and its intensity also affect how bright the Uranium glass fluoresces, but the eerie glow exhibited is a photochemical phenomenon and not to do with its radioactivity.

    Shipping times. This is important, products being shipped internationally can take much longer to be delivered in some cases than the delivery times ebay states, the delivery times given by ebay are based on Royal Mail's estimated delivery time to the target country NOT the recipient, once the shipment has arrived in the target country it has to clear that country’s border controls/customs before it is handed over to that country’s postal system for sorting and delivery. We have absolutely no control over other country’s customs/border controls or postal system or how long it may be in their system. Customs are perfectly within their rights to open any packages and inspect them and we have no control over this. We also would like to point out that you are responsible for any additional import duties/taxes on the items. Some country’s border control/customs can take up to 45 days to clear items. You should also check to see if there are any delays or issues with your country’s postal system that may cause additional delays, and please bear in mind that at busy times it can take even longer for post to arrive for example as Christmas approaches. If you are an international customer and are not willing to be patient with delivery times and understanding of the fact that we are at the mercy of your country’s customs/border control and postal system, then please do not order. Why all of this, we try our best to give a good professional service and most people understand the issues involved, but some don’t or won't, and spoil the ebay experience. So from the MAD nuclear scientists, thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
