Types of Trinitite

GREEN TRINITITE
Green Trinitite was the most abundant, and therefore gives reason as to why the collector even these days can still locate a respectable piece of green Trinitite for sale,
although even this is becoming more and more harder to find. The color is attributed to its content of iron.
Below each image of green Trinitite, I have included the specimen’s Spectrum Analysis
to show the evidence of fission byproducts still present in the specimens:

RED TRINITITE
Red Trinitite, rarely seen and highly collectible, is practically impossible to find by the collector and if found would demand a higher price. The color according to various sources and studies is attributed to its high content of copper. Red Trinitite such as this is due to copper inclusion from the wiring of the “gadget” itself or from the many communication cable wiring that was used in the test
itself

BLACK TRINITITE
Black Trinitite-This color of Trinitite as far from a collector’s standpoint, is hardly ever seen or obtained. I acquired one small piece for my collection from a private source &
collector who had access to the site during the days when obtaining trinitite at the test site was a possibility. The deep color of a dark black is of course mainly attributed to the
content of iron also, it has been mentioned from the tower itself?
