🌟 Uranium Glass Facts

☢️ It’s not dangerous to handle- the uranium is usually less than 2% and sealed into the glass. You’d likely get more radiation from a banana or a granite countertop.

🍸 It was popular from the 1850s through the early 1940s, especially in depression-era tableware and jewelry. Low activity, high attractiveness!

🛑 Production slowed after WWII when uranium was needed for the war effort, making vintage pieces harder to find today.

💡 It comes in more than just green — you can find yellow, amber, blue, and even pink uranium glass. All the radioactive charm with none of the shielding.

🔍 No dosimeter required — just bring a blacklight! Collectors often use mini UV flashlights at antique shops and flea markets to test for the glow.

📈 Some pieces can be worth hundreds of dollars, especially unusual colors, patterns, or complete sets.

🎨 Nicknames include “Vaseline Glass” and “Canary Glass” depending on the shade.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Marie Curie (born 1867), a pioneering scientist and the only person to win Nobel Prizes in both Physics and Chemistry. She discovered polonium and radium, laying the foundation for modern medical imaging and cancer treatment.

Her incredible legacy continues to inspire scientists, radiologists and health care professionals around the world. http://bit.ly/34B97gk
