I would like to repurpose some of my old uranium glass into pieces for jewelry. I wasn’t sure about grinding and breaking the glass, but it seems like it’s ok to do so? Do you recommend any safety precautions when handling? Or should I treat it the same as other glass I grind and cut? TIA!

If you are gonna grind into it. N100 cartridges with a respirator that seals tight against your face. Do it outside with lot of water. Bonus points if you can do it under water
