That is a sweet piece of cullet glass, never heard of a uranium glass one before, super cool find. And that type of glass does emit a small amount of radiation, although it is considered safe when handled properly. Having said that those previous words pertain to actual glasses and dishes, that is a really big piece and may? emit more? If it was me, I would do some checking.
If you have one of those rapid fire kilns you could cast it a better shape like a sphere or a paperweight. Should have a relatively low melting point comparatively to other glass. Glass molds are just made from silica flour and dental plaster. 6 pounds is alot though, might take a week or more to anneal it.

is that safe to touch?
I'm intrigued as to why someone made that radioactive blob? But if a glass maker was nearby that would make sence👍 crazy find
@@jsteelsadventureandvariety yea old glass factories close by. Whole area is all glass in the woods and stuff
@SnapScavenge nice
In ball shape and fire plasma on it 🫰🧬
Cool find
@@mikebelli320 yea it’s neat!
What does one of those radioactive meters show next to it?
What can you do with it?
What's it good for, and how Dangerous is it ✝️🇺🇸🤔
