<p>[QUOTE="TallCakes, post: 82144, member: 107"]EAPG period glass makers used uranium salts (the chemical salt compound) to achieve the color that was called canary (yellow/Vaseline glass) and the color 'apple green' which also glows. So it had nothing to do with glowing under UV light. It looks like you have green uranium glass, as Vaseline glass is uranium glass that is the yellow color of Vaseline petroleum jelly. So the fact that it now glows under UV light is a coincidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
