Who says science class has to stay in the classroom? ✨🩵
We had the absolute best time in the shop today with these brilliant young collectors! They’ve been studying uranium at school and came in hunting for vintage pieces, including ones reactive under ultraviolet light🧪
Naturally, I handed them a blacklight flashlight and set them loose to explore the shelves at Avis Aldine! 🔦
Not only did they track down some classic glowing green Uranium glass, but we also got to do a little extra credit lesson right here at the counter. That stunning, fiery orange-red glow in their glasses is actually Cadmium reacting in the vintage deep red Amberina glass! 🔥
There is nothing cooler than seeing history and science come alive for the next generation of vintage lovers. Thank you to their awesome mom for letting me share their discovery!
The fall season is such a fun time for treasure hunting! We’re open for a couple more hours today, and back on Wednesday. You can always DM us to schedule a private appointment on our warehouse days!
