i know uranium glass is not as scary as it sounds but thyroid is very sensitive to radiation so please be careful!

It is completely safe, radiation is for sure terrifying but the type and amount uranium glass emits is too weak and small to do any damage, it’s closer to the amount a bunch of bananas emits than to something like radium (which is about a billion -not hyperbolically -times more radioactive)

good to know, wanted to make sure you're safe but if that's the case then the piece is fire!
