<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 230793, member: 3974"]Picked these up recently and low and behold under black light they look really cool. Any name for this type of glass? Googling a bit I suspect it's a manganese/calcium combination in the glass that causes this effect - I'm curious if there's a common name for it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Regular light:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]69450[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>~</p><p>UV Black light</p><p>~</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]69451[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]69452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]69453[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
