Own a piece of atomic history with this exceptional 0.87g specimen of dark glassy green Trinitite—the rare glass created during the world's first atomic bomb test at the Trinity Site in 1945.
What Makes This Piece Special
This stunning specimen showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Trinitite with its dark, glassy green surface that's slick to the touch. The topside displays captivating variations of deep green shades, while a large crater reveals crystalline formations that sparkle brilliantly in the light—visible to the naked eye. Additional crystallizations cluster around the crater edges, and a smaller crater on the opposite side features delicate crystalline borders that catch and reflect light beautifully.
