THE MOST TYPICAL COLOR OF URANIUM GLASS IS PALE YELLOWISH-GREEN, WHICH IN THE 1920S LED TO THE NICKNAME VASELINE GLASS, BASED ON ITS RESEMBLANCE TO PETROLEUM JELLY, AS FORMULATED AND COMMERCIALLY SOLD AT THAT TIME. SPECIALIZED COLLECTORS STILL DEFINE VASELINE GLASS AS TRANSPARENT OR SEMI-TRANSPARENT URANIUM GLASS IN THIS SPECIFIC COLOR. IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND AUSTRALIA, THE TERM VASELINE GLASS CAN REFER TO ANY TYPE OF TRANSLUCENT GLASS; VASELINE GLASS IS USED AS A SYNONYM FOR ANY URANIUM GLASS, ESPECIALLY IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT THIS USAGE IS NOT UNIVERSAL. THE TERM IS SOMETIMES APPLIED TO OTHER TYPES OF GLASS BASED ON A SUPERFICIAL APPEARANCE IN NORMAL LIGHT, REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL URANIUM CONTENT THAT REQUIRES A BLACK-LIGHT TEST TO VERIFY THE CHARACTERISTIC GREEN FLUORESCENCE.
-- THE COLOR OF URANIUM GLASS RANGES FROM YELLOW TO GREEN, DEPENDING ON THE OXIDATION STATE AND CONCENTRATION OF THE METAL IONS, ALTHOUGH THE COLOR CAN BE ALTERED BY ADDING OTHER ELEMENTS. ALTHOUGH MOST URANIUM GLASS IS HARMLESS AND ONLY NEGLIGIBLY RADIOACTIVE, SOME URANIUM GLASS FLUORESCES BRIGHT GREEN UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AND CAN REGISTER ABOVE BACKGROUND RADIATION ON A SUFFICIENTLY SENSITIVE GEIGER COUNTER.
