Nick79 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I took a black/UV light to the marbles o got and got some that really glow. Is this common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 It's a semi-regular occurrence. Different chemicals can result in different shades of glow. The most famous is the yellow/green glow from uranium. Manganese can give a red/orange glow. Calcium is connected with an eery blue glow. It's not a sign of age. Very old, mid-range and modern marbles all can glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodse Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I'd wondered if newer ones glow, too. Good to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
