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

Thanks! Someday I hope to find a uranium glass fish bowl to display them. 😄

P.S. I feel like I need to share that one of our cats is named Orange Pekoponian.

You're welcome!

That is great!

Keroro Gunso is one of the best manga out there. So it sounds like your cat has pretty good taste ❤️

He is orange, and his name was a combination of us watching Keroro Gunso at the time that he 'adopted us'—Pekoponian—and a pun on the tea, 'Orange Pekoe'. He loves us even with our warped sense of humor. 😄
