Have you tried it under UV light to check it's uranium? I would expect to see a hint of green even under natural light.

Hi
I tested it last night it's definitely uranium.
I will add a picture tonight.

Enlarge the pic of the base Nev.  ;) The green is there.
It is unusual - it looks a bit more thickly blown than most Sunshine amber too.
