Types of Trinitite

There are different types of Trinitite, with green Trinitite being the most common. Black and red Trinitite contains iron from the bomb tower structure, and red Trinitite may include copper from the gadget or communication cables used during the test. Metallic flakes are rare, making this Trinitite an unusual specimen.

Formation and Composition

Trinitite was formed by the intense heat from the explosion, fusing sand, copper, iron/steel, and indigenous minerals found at the test site. The steel tower and "Jumbo" canister contributed to the unique composition of this remarkable atomic glass material.
