Trinitite (First Atomic Bomb)

I really like this piece. It’s not just a rock, it’s a small part of history from the Trinity test. The fact that it’s sealed in acrylic makes it feel safe and well-preserved, and it also gives it a display-quality look rather than something loose or fragile.

It’s sure as heck the real thing. The quality of the display has already drawn positive comments. I have it on a shelf, next to a small meteorite, a fossil shark’s tooth, and a small vial of some black sand from Iwo Jima. I like having objects that open a door into history for an inquisitive mind.

Communication and shipping were excellent and speedy. The display that I received had two small specimens of Trinitite rather than a larger single piece as in the advertisement. These may be the only samples available, but non the less was disappointing.
