Does "Italian, Moretti, Transparent Uranium Yellow" glass glow when
placed under a blacklight (i.e. 'Vaseline' glass)?

I won a small set of beads awhile ago and the seller stated that
they weremade from "Czech Uranium glass" that she found at the B&B
show and the auction pic showed both the daylight color and then the
glowing blacklight color.

I would love to get more of these beads and tonight I found another
seller that has a set of beads made from the Moretti Uranium Yellow
that look exactly like the set I won. Unfortunately, the seller
doesn't know if they glow under a blacklight. Do any of you
lampworkers in here know? TIA! :)

I have some, and no, it doesn't glow. You can buy glass that does - they
sell it on Justbeads. I am not sure of the seller, but I am pretty sure
it's still there.

:) I don't want to just buy the glass, I want to buy the glass
already made into *beads*. heh... I'll check out Justbeads! I've
been meaning to check there for Dichroic bead sets anyway. Thanks
again!

LOL! I had to move my glow in the dark duckies because they freaked me so
much when I'd turn out the light...

On the other hand, I love the glow in the dark lampwork ghost earrings that
I made last Halloween!

Thanks for the info, Tink. :) The beads in that auction link had
squiggly lines and little tiny flowers on them... they're just
gorgeous. But I wonder how she did that if she couldn't use other
glass? Or is that the technique where you use a magic marker to
draw on the bead, then apply more glass over it? I never did
understand that...

Small bits of closely compatible glass would work. Probably. I think that's

Does "Italian, Moretti, Transparent Uranium Yellow" glass glow when
placed under a blacklight (i.e. 'Vaseline' glass)?

ANSWER - NO
it's a lie -- it is not truly Uranium Yellow
.... I know because I tested mine and was disappointed to find it was not.

You can get Uranium /Vaseline czech beads though....

Here's the link to the won auction so you can see the color of the
glass. It's a beautiful clear pale yellow in hand. I guess I'll

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2640056488>

yep - those are CZECH- the ITALIAN Moretti does not glow.

Spruce Pine glass also makes furnace glass (90 COE) that is UV - comes in blue,
yellow-green, orange, pink and violet.
Stuff is killer cool in black light... LOL

I know - it's SO cool to flash the blacklight on beads. My auction
win came with this little, tiny blacklight keychain. So I took the
light and then went thru ALL OF MY BEADS, especially the vintage
ones, to see if they'd glow or not. heh... now I've a massive mess
of my beads and a small packet of everything from crystals to satin
beads that glow fluorescent green in the dark. At least twice a
day, I'll play with them all. :D

Yah... I've been buying new and vintage beads that are 'Vaseline'
blacklight beads in order to stretch those 6 beads I won into more
than one or two pieces of jewelry.

Cheryl, do you have any of the Spruce Pine glass that you mentioned
before, that comes in all those colors (blue, yellow-green, orange,
pink and violet>?? If you do and you feel like getting a a special
order from me, e-me!! (I won't feel bad if you're too busy or don't
take special orders)

I do that all the time (I buy those duckies by the case!). I never know where
I'll find one. I think they get out of the cabinet by themselves and go
carousing around my house.
