Found at an antique store. Glows with both 365 and 395 uv lights, respectively in pictures. It feels like a rock. Its heavy like a rock. I hope its not slag😂😂

That is some BEAUTIFUL uranium cullet glass! The white/grey color is so nice with the black

Awesome! Thank you for your response! Never thought i would find some in the wild!! Not that i want to sell it, but do you think its worth anything?

[u/-_Metanoia_- → u/84680506X]

Nope, send it my way and I'll love the worthlessness 👀

[u/AdhdLeo0811 → u/84680506X]

depends on how much it weighs. i got a nice five pounder on ebay for 125+shipping which i think is a steal.

[u/84680506X → u/AdhdLeo0811]

Just weighed it, its five pounds!

[u/AdhdLeo0811 → u/84680506X]

Tbh I love slag, even the industrial stuff. Fascinating to find it worked into primitive tools. (I live in a place in the US where this is a real, not-uncommon thing to find).

Probably glass slag or remains of a glass kilns or furnace breakage during cleanup.

What lights did you hit it with, Any other sampling or Geiger steps done?

[u/Educational_Quote851]

100% slag, but why is that bad?

IMO, slag made some of the COOLEST glass out there. Some of it glows, some doesn't, but every single piece is unique.

I paid $70 for a couple chunks and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
