<p>[QUOTE="KSW, post: 1847816, member: 8708"]Oh I love my UV torch!. I’ve had these beads for ages but not done anything with them as they are as fragile as they look. Sorting through my hoard last night I checked them with my torch and they glow a gorgeous orange. I think the tear drops are later additions and are irrelevant. My googling tells me they are c1920 Manganese glass. It also brings up Persimmon glass but that looks more orange. Haven’t yet found out if all Manganese glass is Persimmon glass or if that has different characteristics?</p><p>Did that make sense?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Thanks for looking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]242753[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]242754[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]242755[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
