Do you think civilians can buy samples of trinitite? I have always wanted some.

Trinitite is a green, glassy substance that was created during the first atomic bomb test in New Mexico in 1945.
Yes, civilians can legally purchase trinitite samples as long as they are not from the Trinity test site in New Mexico.
Trinitite samples can be purchased from online vendors or at certain science museums that have pieces of trinitite on display.
The cost of trinitite varies depending on the size and quality of the sample, but it can range from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars.
Trinitite is generally safe to handle as long as it has been properly cleaned and is not from the Trinity test site. However, it is recommended to handle it with gloves as it may contain trace amounts of radioactive materials.
