Composition: Green Trinitite is the most common form, its color derived from the arkosic sand at the Trinity site. This sand contained angular grains of quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, muscovite, calcite, pyroxene, amphibole, and rock fragments. Other associated minerals include albite, microcline, and actinolite. Red and black Trinitite contains iron from the tower structure, with red spherules found in black Trinitite. Red Trinitite also contains copper from communications cables, lead bricks, steel tower, and bomb casing.

Orders comply with Section 13 of part 40 of the NRC Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules and regulations, and Postal Service regulations specified in 49 CFR 173.421 for low-level radioactive materials.
