Description

Trinitite was created during the first atomic test at the Trinity Site in southern New Mexico in July of 1945. Trinitite has also been referred to as atomsite or Alamogordo glass. It is a glasslike substance that was created from the sand and other materials at the Site during the intense heat of that first atomic test.While most trinitite is light green (due to the iron that was present in the sand), other samples contain some of the iron from the tower on which the “Gadget” was detonated, and those look black. Yet other slightly red samples contain copper from the electrical wire used in the experiment.Size and shape varies.
