The Manhattan Project and Trinity Test

The Manhattan Project was the top-secret U.S. government research initiative during World War II aimed at developing the first nuclear weapons. The Trinity project, which was the name given to the first atomic test, was part of this larger initiative. Both projects are historically and scientifically intertwined, making this Trinitite an important relic from that era.

Types of Trinitite

Several types of Trinitite have been identified. Green Trinitite is the most common form. Black and red trinitite contain iron from the bomb tower structure, while red Trinitite may also contain copper from the gadget or communications cables. The steel tower and "Jumbo" canister, used during the test, contributed to the composition of the Trinitite, which includes sand, copper, iron, and indigenous minerals.
