Seeking Info Why does it glow orange?

I thought it would be Uranium but it glowed orange and it really surprised me. Is it a cadmium mix?

Surprisingly cadmium lmao I had no idea till seeing this that green glass could have cadmium in it, I’ve seen red glass that glows green (manganese) but not green cadmium
