Trinitite Trinity First Atomic Bomb Test New Mexico
Trinitite is the resulting atomic glass from the detonation of the first atomic bomb test on July 16, 1945 located in the desert, Alamogordo, New Mexico. This trinitite was legally collect in 1948.
The Manhattan Project was the top-secret U.S. government research initiative during World War II aimed at developing the first nuclear weapons. It was run by many scientists and engineers in various locations across the United States. So, the Trinity project (the name given to the first atomic test blast) and the Manhattan project are intrinsically interlinked.

- Types of Trinitite: Several different types of Trinitite have been identified. Green is the most common form. Black and red contain iron from the tower structure. Red contains copper from the 'gadget' itself or the communications cables leading away from the site. Trinitite can have iron mixed in it because the tower that held the bomb was made of steel. (Steel is an alloy consisting primarily of iron). Also, "Jumbo" - the steel canister that contained the "device" was held from a detonating tower. The official environment in which the trinitite was created consisted of sand, copper, iron/ steel, and whatever indigenous minerals were in the ground at the time of the atomic test.
