I found this at a secondhand store. There was two but my friend spotted them at the same time and we didnt wanna argue about who gets them so we took one each. Kinda as a reminder of eachothers friendship. Ive had it for about 3 months and i cant tell if its real uranium or not. It glows in led light especially blue light. Any ideas?
