Buy a bunch of old clocks and watches that have luminous numbers and the pointers that glow also. That is radium. Some of it was painted on by hand. In order to keep their paint brush sharp the worker would put it in their mouth and pull it out. Sucking on radium has bad health effects. The buildings where this was done are still very contaminated and the painters died of radium poisoning. Not sure if you can legally own it. Transporting it may be a crime. Possessing it is very dangerous and not recommended at all. Madam Currie, who discovered it, died from it. All isotopes should be kept in a secure and shielded place. Handling it only when necessary and with full protection from it.
