Trinitite Nuclear Glass Green: Unique Atomic History

Experience a piece of history with this rare Trinitite nuclear glass specimen, created during the first atomic bomb test at the Trinity site on July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Known as "blast glass" or "atomic glass," this material was formed as a result of the extreme heat from the bomb's detonation. Also referred to as Atomite or Alamogordo Glass, Trinitite is a sought-after collectible for both scientific and historical purposes.

Green Trinitite: The Most Common Form

This particular specimen is green with minor black Trinitite, the most commonly found form. Legally collected in 1948, each piece comes with XRF verification, ensuring its authenticity. Photos of the front, back, and description tag are included with every order.

The Formation and Composition of Trinitite

Various types of Trinitite have been identified, each with its own unique characteristics. Green is the most prevalent, while black and red Trinitite often contain iron from the tower structure that held the bomb. Red Trinitite may also include copper from the "gadget" itself or from communication cables surrounding the test site. Steel, which is an alloy primarily composed of iron, also played a role in the formation of Trinitite due to its presence in the bomb tower and the "Jumbo" steel canister used during the test.
