Uranium Marbles & UV Torch (P001) £12.99 inc. UK P&P

This original, exclusive and totally unique paperweight comprises a cylinder of crystal clear resin with three Vaseline Glass ‘Uranium’ marbled embedded deep inside, backed with the distinctive ‘Trefoil’ radioactivity emblem. Vaseline Glass contains trace amounts of Uranium and when exposed to Ultra Violet light they emit an eerie green glow. You will receive a UV torch with your order so you can see this truly bizarre effect for yourself.

The miniscule amounts of radioactivity these marbles emit -- well within international safety limits and below that of the natural background radioactivity of some areas -- is safely contained by the resin. Measuring approximately 60mm x 25mm, each felt-backed paperweight is hand cast and individually numbered; they are only available from anythingradioactive and will be produced in very small numbers so they could become a real collector’s item in years to come.

Trinitite Fragments (P003) £15.99 inc. UK P&P

Deep inside the crystal clear resin casting is a small number of  Trinitite fragments. This is the actual material created by the very first atomic bomb blast in the New Mexico Desert in the early hours of July 16th1945. The sand beneath the bomb site was fused into a strange green glass-like compound by the explosion. Over the years it has lost almost all of its radioactivity and the dense resin blocks any residual emissions. The fragments are suspended over a reproduction of the US army map of the test site.

This is another anythingradioactive exclusive. Trinitite from the test site is no longer allowed to be removed, so this is a rare and possibly unrepeatable opportunity to own a little piece of history from the Atomic age. Each paperweight measures approximately 65mm x 25mm, backed with green felt and supplied with an information sheet about Trinitite and the Trinity test.
