Is uranium glass still made?
Yes, uranium glass is still made. Almost all of it comes from Czech Republic, who still has many active uranium mines and refineries, and who still has a very active glassmaking industry. Jablonec nad Nisou in Czech Republic is where all modern uranium glass beads, buttons, and jewelry components come from.

There is a company in the US called Molten Aura Labs that sometimes creates borosilicate uranium glass rods. These are mostly used for “heady” jewelry and for smoking devices such as bongs, pipes, and dab rigs. Northstar Glassworks has created “Illuminati” uranium glass for the same purpose, but it is currently out of production.
