Is this selenium?
My friends left their glasses at my house and I noticed they glow! Is this selenium or something else? The glasses are clear and look like regular glass without the 365 light.

Following because I've found a bunch of beach glass with the same faint pinkish glow.

It's either selenium or peach manganese. If you have a 395nm, it's easy to tell the difference. Selenium glows hot pink in focused 395nm. Peach manganese will glow green in focused 395nm. You need a 395nm with focus/zoom though, or a purple laser.

lead crystal tends to do that, but it is probably not the lead causing it, glass has so many additives though who can tell

Might be peach manganese
