J_Ding Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 So would this be a canary? It's hand gathered (won't image for me), has the orange glow when back lit (not shown either), and that yellow/green vaseline tinge throughout. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 It looks a little greenish on my screen. Is that just a trick the camera played? I wanna say yes! But I still feel shy about the name even with the encouragement I got for mine. Mike! We need you! What's it look like under blacklight? My yellow one is blazingly bright. Brighter than my Akro Lemonades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A yellowish tint would make more sense to me but they got that info someplace - ?? Nancy 23 minutes ago, Steph said: It looks a little greenish on my screen. Is that just a trick the camera played?

I pasted the statement from Nancy's post above where this is indicated in American Machine Marbles. Uranium does give a several wavelengths into the edge of the green I know, and sometimes characteristics of the glass might mask that effect a bit. And you are correct...this one glows a great deal...almost feel the need to don my welding glasses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Ah, thanks for the _new_ reminder about what Nancy said. I seem to have a blind spot to that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I've got all sort of those blind spots too (I had just re-read that thread tonight, for like, the hundredth time and was reminded to look for that feature...'oh, yeah, I forgot that bit' happens all the time for me, and why shouldn't it...so many little details.
