玻璃石

Levels of radioactivity in the trinity glass from two different samples as measured by gamma spectroscopy on lumps of the glass^[1]

玻璃石（英语：Trinitite）是一种在1945年7月16日于美国新墨西哥州奥特罗县县治阿拉莫戈多进行^[2]的以钚为底的三位一体核试爆后的残馀玻璃状矿物。此矿物主要成份为石英砂及长石组成的长石砂岩（长石包括了微斜长石及少量的斜长石），并带有少量的方解石、普通角闪石及普通辉石，包含在沙状黏土基质内^[3]，这些物质被核爆所熔解并混化形成玻璃石。此矿物通常为浅绿色，但颜色可有其它变化。此物质带有些微辐射，但可安全手执^[4]^[5]^[6]。

在1940年代晚期及1950年代初期，矿物样品被搜集且以新奇物品被贩售给矿物搜集者，直到2019年，仍可以在三位一体核爆场地找到少量矿物，虽然大多数矿物已被美国原子能委员会在1953年以推土机掩埋^[7]。现在从核试爆场地采集剩下的矿物是违法行为，然而在禁令生效前采集的矿物仍在矿物搜集者手中。

形成

伪玻璃石

其它人造玻璃石

自然玻璃石

玻璃石有可能以自然方式而产生^[8] 。

闪电熔岩

玻璃石是人造的，但在许多易产生雷暴地区及沙漠地区发现的闪电熔岩是自然产生的。闪电熔岩可为中空或实心的玻璃物质，形状可为管状、块状、团状或是沙状。由石英砂、矽石、岩石、钙质层、生质、黏土或是其它土壤及沉积物构成。产生方式为雷击。

撞击石

撞击石是一种类似于玻璃石的物质，可由陨石撞击所形成。^[9]
