The first atom bomb test in July 1945 fused the New Mexico desert sand around Ground Zero into a unique green glassy material called Trinitite. It can be seen scattered on the ground twice a year, when Trinity Site is open to visitors. Still radioactive today, visitors are advised not to take Trinitite home.
