	Trinitite
		A product resulting from the blast was an olive-green glass-like substance named "Trinitite" (a nearly pure melted silica with traces of Olivine, Feldspar, and other minerals mixed in the desert sand) which formed when the molten sand solidified upon cooling.
		Trinitite is fragile; therefore, pieces larger than 5-6 grams are difficult to obtain and become true collector specimens.
		Any one of these Trinitite specimens can be ordered individually for the price shown and mailed in the US for $1.50 in a small box within a padded mailing envelope.

	United Nuclear - RADMAX Shielding
		Actual Trinitite contains nuclear fission byproducts that were melted into the sand during the fireball phase of the atomic bomb detonation.
		Some Trinitite counterfeiters have even gone so far as to add small amounts of radioactive material into their Trinitite to make it appear genuine.
		Your Trinitite sample will be mounted on heavy-stock, high-gloss Kodak photo paper with an atomic detonation image and an informative description of Trinitite and its origin.

	Trinitite
		When the first atomic bomb was set off, the "trinity" test, it melted the desert, forming a 600 yard diameter crater with a crust of greenish glass (glass is molten sand).
		This glassy material, which has come to be known as trinitite, was quite radioactive at first, but has by now died down to a fairly low level.
		It's removal from the site is forbidden, but a good bit is in circulation (though so is a good bit of fake trinitite as well).

	Trinitite!
		The samples we are offering were collected in the late 1940's when it was still permissible to remove material from the blast site (and when it still existed).
		The bottom of each piece exhibits the rough texture of the sandy desert surface, which remained untouched by the blast.
		While the Trinitite was highly radioactive in 1945 when it was formed, more than fifty years have passed and at the present time, so the radioactivity is virtually zero and it is safe to handle.

	TRINITITE - PRODUCT OF THE FIRST ATOMIC BOMB BLAST
		The crater was buried for security reasons not long after the explosion and, as a result, Trinitite has remained relatively difficult to obtain.

		The above image is a scan of a piece of Trinitite.
		This is desert sand that was underneath the explosion of the world's first Atomic bomb in New Mexico as part of project TRINITY, hence the name Trinitite.
		If Iran needs to be invaded, and occupied, to prevent them from ever developing and possibly using a nuclear weapon against the mainland United States, then our parents and grandparents wasted untold trillions in producing nuclear weapons and submarines to defend against just such a threat.

	Daily Herald - Trinitite 04-21 0897
		Trinitite -- the smooth jade green glass formed by the world's first atomic bomb test 60 years ago at Trinity Site -- wasn't formed the way it has been explained for years, according to two scientists whose hobby is studying sand from anthills.
		According to their study of trinitite and little beads of trinitite found in anthills at Trinity Site, the sand was blasted into the air at superheated temperatures.
		Hermes and Strickfaden said in their paper they wanted to use the properties of trinitite to back-calculate the yield of the bomb, the temperature and duration of its fireball and the spread of material ejected by the blast.

	Trinitite
		Trinitite is the name given to the soil that was fused into a glass-like consistency by the heat from the Trinity Test, the world’s first nuclear explosion that took place
		Trinitite is measurably radioactive, but not dangerously so.
		Needless to say, the activity depends on a variety of factors, e.g., the size of the piece and the distance from ground zero.

		Trinitite is sand which has been fused into a greenish glass by the heat of plutonium fission.
		Although collection of trinitite is technically forbidden, it is quite common for people to do so.
		The clear window over the Trinitite itself was cut from the side of a detergent bottle.

		In the sky is the window of a Geiger-Mueller tube; with each disintegration of Cesium-137 within the trinitite a beta particle is emitted; those that reach the G-M tube cause a small spark within the tube, made audible with electronics inside the Model 23.
		Each same spark, processed by other electronics within, triggers one view of each of the frames on the film strip, projected badly on a tiny viewing screen visible in the viewing hood, after the red start switch is pressed.
		The front panel is a quarter-inch slab of brass, reverse-etched in an eight-hour process to leave raised lettering, the varied colors due to copper and zinc dissolving in the etchant at different rates.

	Trinitite Spectrum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A sample of Trinitite was purchased from a mineral dealer and a spectrum obtained to see if the radioactive materials inside could be indentified.
		Four 0.093" thick Plexiglass sheets were used between the Trinitite and the probe to block the beta particle that are also being emitted.
		The corresponding Compton continuum covers an energy region where the background readings are relatively high thus the signal-to-noise ratio is low leading to the noisy data seen here.

		That was supposed to be Trinitite's rightful throne, it will be one day, she thought fiercely, but she would hate to defeat Sailor Moon (a victory to be savoured) and instead have to kill one of her own.

		It’s trinitite, named for the place at the northern edge of the missile range where the United States detonated the world’s first atomic bomb on July 16, 1945.
		After the test, the ground-zero crater was coated with trinitite, green due to the presence of iron in the sand.
		As they cast their net far and wide, the two scientists were puzzled by spheroids within pieces of trinitite.

		Albuquerque, N.M.-AP- The Atomic Energy Commission indicated Wednesday that it's studies did not confirm earlier reports that rocks from the Southern New Mexico site of the first atomic bomb explosion might be dangerously radioactive.
		A spokesman said AEC tests indicated that the rocks, known as trinitite, contained only safe minimal level of radiation.
		Dr. Charles Hyder of the Southwest Research and Information Center warned Tuesday that anyone having trinitite stones should contact local health service offices for information on how to dispose of them.

		But clearly, whatever processes that may have been involved for tektites lasted for a matter of seconds.
		Trinitite provides an example of artificial glass produced by the melting of desert sands under extreme, but known, processes.
		It provides a benchmark for comparison that seems intuitively similar to the extreme conditions of hypervelocity meteorite impact.

		The depressed crater 800 yards in diameter was soon buried for security reasons, but samples were first collected.

		According to minresco.com authentic Trinitite specimens examined by a Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) Germanium detector have a fingerprint that shows a peak of energy at about ~666 keV.
