Hello lovely uranium glass enthusiasts!
I am not a uranium glass collector, but I have been pretty obsessed with treasury hunting at the beach lately and as a result, I have expanded my collection of sea glass quite a bit this summer.
Yesterday, I finally purchased a UV light in hopes of finding yooperlite but no luck. But I did certainly find some things that glow. I used some guides from this sub to try to figure out what they are and I’m hoping you could tell me if I got any of them right in your opinion.
If you’re looking at the photos in my hand, my best guesses from left to right are:
1 and 2- uranium glass. Maybe jadeite?
3 through 5- custard uranium glass
6- it didn’t photograph very well but in person it’s bright blue under the light so I was thinking lead, but the glass is not clear so I’m not sure
Bottom row- I’m no longer confident that these are reacting to the UV light because it doesn’t show in the photographs. I think I might have just noticed them because they’re white. But I will say they seem to glow a very, very faint green and I would imagine it would be purple if it was just reflecting the light? So I’m not totally sure.
Last two photos are my new glowing additions to the rest of my seaglass collection:)
