what is vaseline glass? in short, it's a glass that has a bit of uranium oxide
in it! according to wikipedia
the amount varies between 0.1% and 1.3%.
why would you want any of this you ask? well, it did make the glass
an odd color of green, but it also is active enough that it can make your geiger
counter tick! so, it can be an interesting test source. on top of that, when
exposed to a black light it glows:

it's amazing how much of this can be found for sale and what is paid for it. for
