Trinitite - impact glass from the Trinity nuclear test...

Trinitite, also known as Alamogordo glass, is the glassy residue left on the desert floor after the Trinity plutonium nuclear test on July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States. It is mainly composed of desert sand melted by the explosion, whose formation required about 4,300 gigajoules of thermal energy. The material subjected to the explosion was overheated for about 2 to 3 seconds before solidifying again. Trinitite no longer contains enough radiation to be harmful. It still contains radionuclides 241Am, 137Cs and 152Eu due to the Trinity test using a plutonium device. The specimen will be delivered in a photo case with a mat and with information printed on the back indicating the selling organization. The presence of the organization's name on the back serves as a certificate of authenticity. Ideal as a gift, a “one-of-a-kind” gift, for a collection or other. This is a rare, hard-to-find item. The stone inside measures 1.4 cm long and 1 cm high.
