What is Trinitite?
Trinitite is a man-made glass created when the intense heat of the Trinity atomic explosion fused arkosic desert sand and related minerals into a glassy surface material. Most pieces are green, while darker black, red, and metal-bearing specimens are less common and often more visually distinctive.
