I eyeballed it amongst a bunch of broken glass along a creek bank at work.. Roadside country bottle dump.. Uranium glass has a certain color, once you see it and know what it looks like, you can pick it out in a crowd of other junk..

I was thinking about braking it into a few pieces and using it to tumble clad, which eventually makes it into beach glass...

More about that here...

Now I'm going to have to shine a blacklight or uv at my other pieces too.. Looks like I might already have some made into beach glass..
