Are minerals that glow in the dark radioactive?

Minerals that glow in the dark may or may not be radioactive. There are some other reasons that a mineral could glow in the dark without it being radioactive. Certainly if a material is radioactive enough it will glow in the dark. But note that some radioactive materials are only weakly radioactive, and an observer will not be able to see them glow in the dark.


Why are radioactive things colored green in movies?

Severe misunderstanding.Early radium dial watches and instruments glowed green where the "radium" paint had been applied. People assumed that was the radium glow. Actually radium does not glow at all, what gave the green glow was a phosphor (not phosphorus that is an element that burns easily, phosphors are compounds that glow when "excited" - the brightest and cheapest phosphors glow green) excited by the radiation emitted by the radium.The X-ray Fluoroscope used a phosphor screen that glowed green when excited by the X-rays.So people then assumed anything radioactive glowed green. (I almost wish, but humans have no sense that can detect radioactivity.)Hope that helps.
