They're not all uranium though...but if you look at Keith's top pic there are hints of green on the edges

does uranium make them more sought after ?   wondered if the other coloured ones do too but i take it they have to look yellow green to begin with ,as ive seen some in blue and purple... kerryn

I think it's just a choice,some collectors will buy anything(that's me) some are more particular(that's not me) in regards to value again that also varies on what you collect or are willing to pay,Keith.

Other colours of these sorts of paperweight won't be uranium glass, except possibly green.
