After months of research and testing, the top-secret "Manhattan Project" produced the world's first nuclear bomb. The device was successfully detonated on July 16th, 1945 at Alamogordo, New Mexico under the code name "Trinity". The resulting explosion was equivalent to the energy of 18,000 tons of TNT. The immense heat of the atomic blast melted the desert sand as it was drawn up into the fireball. The liquid sand rained down, forming sheets of glass as it cooled. This atomic glass has come to be known as Trinitite.

Another stunning—and at the same time terrifying—piece in the collection!
After a road trip in May, going from Los Alamos, seeing a sample of Trinitite in Albuquerque nuclear museum and then stopping at the Trinity test site on route to White Sands having the opportunity to own something like this was a dream. After receiving it, it’s better than I’d hoped for, it’s an amazing piece of history that is presented beautifully. A incredible talking point that gives me another opportunity to bore people with my holiday.
This is a great piece added to my collection being a scientist and history enthusiastic. Thank you Engineering labs.
I really like this piece. It’s not just a rock, it’s a small part of history from the Trinity test. The fact that it’s sealed in acrylic makes it feel safe and well-preserved, and it also gives it a display-quality look rather than something loose or fragile.
It’s sure as heck the real thing. The quality of the display has already drawn positive comments. I have it on a shelf, next to a small meteorite, a fossil shark’s tooth, and a small vial of some black sand from Iwo Jima. I like having objects that open a door into history for an inquisitive mind.
They are more impressive in person! I have them displayed at work and have many compliments!!
These are really cool and will be adding to a nice science collection.
This is a legitimate piece of one of the most important moments in history. It’s very well made. My interactions with the company have all been very solid. I’m a very happy customer.
It's a great piece of history.
A truly historic and well-crafted display piece that will make a welcome addition to my World War II collection.
Looks great! A great piece of history!
Bought it for my cousin, he loved it! Very good shipping and amazing quality, will definitely be buying more this site. Would recommend to fellow science lovers.
Perfect gift.
Really cool
Unique piece of history. Great item.
It is a piece of history- a major inflection point in world affairs. I have a small piece of Trinitite in a classy display. It sits on the front of the shelf.
Genuine piece of history!
Looks awesome great work!
Packaging is understated and respectful to the artifact. Immaculate acrylic showcases the stone beautifully and the wording is legible. Wonderful product!
Incredible piece of history! Nicely displayed. Extremely satisfied. Thank you!

It is really nicely presented!
Arrived rapidly, and the piece was larger than I expected. The glass component is quite visible.
Nice Trinitite piece. Love the acrylic display case with details on it too.
Purchased two of the Trinitite showcases from Engineered Labs. There was an issue with USPS picking up the order, from the seller. I reached out to Engineered Labs and they turned around and shipped it thru a commercial carrier. It turned out, I received it well ahead of the shipping timeframe. Now, that is 100% Customer Service! The two showcases with Trinitite is awesome and keeping one for myself and giving the other as a birthday gift! Hands down best Customer Service and Highest Quality and Innovative Materials used in their products. Highly recommended and will purchase from them in the future!
Unique item.
The piece of Trinite that I got was exactly as advertised
Wow how nice to have!! Tnx!
Wife bought this for me for our anniversary. Got 2 little pieces instead of one solid chunk. Disappointing. Doesn't look nearly as good.
Coolest purchase ever!
Communication and shipping were excellent and speedy. The display that I received had two small specimens of Trinitite rather than a larger single piece as in the advertisement. These may be the only samples available, but non the less was disappointing.
It's cool
Fine piece! Packaging error delayed receipt but it was corrected promptly.
It is an amazing artifact that I could not believe I have in my possession. As a teacher, this will allow me to show the impact this bomb had on the world.
It is an interesting piece of history.
Owning a piece of history is phenomenal.
Tried my radiation detector on it and it’s inert. Nice piece to make guests very curious.
Very nice piece of history; it will look great on my desk. Along with my U and Pu cubes.
It's really lovely. Smaller than I thought it would be, but still beautiful andcwell presented.
