Trinitite is also called Alamogordo Glass. In fact, it is named after the Trinity Test Site located in Alamagaro New Mexico. As a result of the atomic blast the surrounding earth was liquified and turned to radioactive glass. All in all this is a very cool piece of history. It is usually a light green, although red trinitite was also found in one section of the blast site. As a result It is mildly radioactive but safe to handle.
