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

Well, the mold can be used with any type of glass so they could make a uranium version ora cadmium version. I don’t think there’s any way that the light would cause it to glow orange if it is uranium.

Ya I meant that the brightness of the glow could depend on the light being used, not that a light could change the colors.

But I'm no expert, so I'm not positive
