Hi Scott. Maybe sometime you can share a few pictures of the reds here, top and bottom. The big green one I've been working with - on the bottom instead of sand is a bed of tektites consisting of many beads, a few connected dumbells and some tiny beads melted into the surface of bigger beads, then a layer really clear, shiny? green melt glass then topped with dusty green melt glass.?
Do you have any with black on the bottom? We've read that the paved roads pretty much survived the blast, and I think the black on the bottom instead of sand is melt glass that fell onto the macadam roads.
Thanks for checking in.
Geo

Hello Geo,
Nice find...
I have quite a few many outstanding specimens of Red...some highly magnetic "like fly off the table when magnet comes near"?

Red Trinitite sample, first found (by me) iron sphere tektite.
?4 to 5mm diameter, Quite magnetic.
Looks like a challenging XRF target!
