In this vial, is a concentrated form of uranium called sodium diuranate (Na2U2O7), and it's extremely radioactive. What's kind of weird is that this little box, is even more radioactive, but it isn't filled with a bunch of pure radioactive material, and it's just some old watch hands. However these watch hands, are painted with something called radium, that's 1000000x more radioactive than uranium.
