    For some reason, no one wants to shoot marbles with me. My dad looked at me really weird, and my mom asked me if she should be worried.

    They look real terrific under a UV light though. They almost turn green and they glow. Maybe I should put it in my fishtank with the glow in the dark fish? (I want some!)

    Chemistry is fun, isn'it? (or scary in your case)
    I can't tell alot from the pictures, but unless this is the World War 3 era, I think those are made of materials with luminence characteristics......

    Uranium dioxide, hence the radioactivity.

    also other stuff that isn't Uranium dioxide lights up in glass.

    You have to test it with a geigercounter to be sure. Or carry them around near your testicles and see what happens to your offspring of you are not in a hurry.

    Well, it looks like I finally found something to power my old Delorian that I turned into a Time Machine. Fire up the flux capacitor, I'm going back to the future!
