we translated to

Trinitite, also known as atomite or Alamogordo glass, is the glassy residue left on the desert floor after the Trinity plutonium-based nuclear bomb test on July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. The glass is mainly composed of arkosic sand composed of quartz and feldspar grains (both microcline and minor plagioclase with a small amount of calcite, hornblende, and augite in a sandy clay matrix) that was melted by the atomic blast. It was first described academically in the American Mineralogist in 1948.

One of the more unusual isotopes found in trinitite is a neutron activation product of barium, the barium in the Trinity device coming from the slow exploding lens employed in the device, known as Baratol. Quartz is the only surviving mineral in most trinitites.

Trinitite no longer contains enough radiation to be harmful unless ingested. It still contains the radionuclides Americium 241, Cesium 137 and Europium 152 due to the Trinity test with the plutonium bomb.

    Quick shipping with FedEx to the US. It was well packaged. The one I received did have a small crack and chip in the lip, but stuff like that is expected with a natural material like this. I'm happy with my purchase.
