Why Uranium Glass Glows Green

Sometimes an item can glow a dull green rather than bright neon, and that is due to manganese rather than uranium. Other jewelry materials such as resin, plasic, enamel, paint, acrylic, some gemstones, and even adhesive under a rhinestone can glow like uranium, so it is imperative for a collector of such glass in jewelry to make sure the glowing item is truly glass.
