Uranium glass is available from some suppliers of glass billets for glass-blowing, e.g. uranium green from Gaffer Glass in New Zealand - they now have a US branch. I'm told by glassblowers that it's the real deal.

After searching for and calling various commercial concerns, I managed to get a couple of pieces from scrap that the glassblowers in the Chemistry Dept. had stashed for special use. Any idea on current sources of this material?
Other than an antique store (--uranium glass was used for its yellow or
green color in years past), no. We have a uranium glass slide in our
facility but I hadn't thought about current availability--oops.
Perhaps Daniel should go with Julio's suggestions!
