Blacklight UV Marbles

Uranium to give the green glow.

Manganese and selenium are elements which can be associated with orange glow when used to color glass.   

 

Vitrolite cullet is responsible for some of the green glow in West Virginia swirls.   Most of those look like WV swirls.  The red white and blue one needs more views  in regular light -- I'm thinking maybe Peltier there.


UV glass goes back at least to the 1800s and continues to this century.

The blue, white, probably orange, looks Jabo.  A few Jabos, a few Champions, and maybe a couple Alleys.  Fenton Art glass was another supplier of cullet which make marbles glow.  Some new marbles glow. Some old marbles glow.
