Due to the matrix within dark colored uranium glasses, they may not glow as brightly as normal green uranium or vaseline yellow. Especially when displayed next to each other.

Uranium glass is characterized by the presence of uranium (oxide) and, in some cases, iron oxide. Uranium glass can register above background radiation on a sufficiently sensitive Geiger counter, although most pieces of uranium glass are considered to be harmless and only negligibly radioactive.

*PLEASE NOTE: Color of glass and glow may vary slightly from photographs due to variations in screen hues and nm of black light used to produce glow.
