Mined from: Hanford Site area, near Richland, Benton County, Washington, USA

Description: This one-of-a-kind Hanford glass specimen features a brighter translucent yellow body with milky internal zones, glossy surfaces, and dramatic curved fracture patterns. The piece has a raw, sculptural form with sharp broken edges, conchoidal chips, ripple marks, and layered flow-like textures that catch the light from different angles. Its color ranges from pale lemon yellow to richer golden yellow, with cloudy cream areas and small dark inclusions scattered through the glass.

Hanford glass is a man-made glass, not a naturally crystallized mineral. This unusual piece is a fragment of thick leaded shielding glass once used in observation windows at the Hanford Site, allowing workers to view reactions and processes while helping block radiation exposure.

Spiritually, glass is often associated with clarity, transformation, reflection, and the reshaping of energy. This specimen’s pale yellow color may also appeal to those who associate yellow stones or glass with optimism, focus, confidence, and solar energy. Its connection to transformation is especially fitting, since glass itself is formed through heat, melting, and cooling into a new state.
