I collect radioactive stuff. I mean, seriously radioactive.

Some are just things like marbles made with uranium glass. Low level stuff, but other things are way worse.

I try to collect uranium glass with the proviso that I only buy pieces at flea markets and thrift stores that either no one knows is uranium glass or that isn't priced like uranium glass.

So far I've spent $7 on two pieces.

Maybe a dumb question: what are the health effects, if any, to having that stuff laying around your house? Just curious. Uranium glass is pretty interesting stuff.

As far as I can tell as long as I don't lick it, eat off it or get cut with it, the alpha particles can't break the skin.
