kboo004 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I took some pics of UV glow in blacklight marbles turned out pretty good the last pic is how they look without the UV light. Not sure what they all are though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
