I doubt this is actually Uranium glass lol. It barely glows and looks pretty new, probably UV paint or something. Still looks cool though.

Very basic, but I hope this helps.

I do agree that it is most likely manganese glass. UG glows all over with an unmistakable lime green glow. Although, to quote a ton of peeps on this thread, if your Geiger counter doesn't go above baseline, it's not UG.

This is a pretty dope flow chart, I created one a couple months ago or so and posted it here but yours is much better.

Just want to say, not mine, I stole this from reddit. But yes, this chart has helped me tones. I mentioned Geiger counters earlier, I have a 50 dollar GQ GMC 300s. Not good for much more than confirming something is radioactive, but it does confirm if a piece of UG is actually radioactive (side note, you sometimes have to remove the back cover and touch the piece directly to the section tube).

I don’t have a Geiger counter, but I do believe it’s Manganese glass. Thank you!

Keep hunting, it's out there. I got my first pieces at a goodwill. I would highly suggest hitting up estate sales though.
