    They had great ideas back then. Uranium gave a nice green color to glass, and arsenic made nice green wallpaper. Entire families died for a fashionable green shade of wallpaper.

    2% although some 20th-century pieces were made with up to 25% uranium.

    Uranium half-life […] varies between 159,200 and 4.5 billion years
