I know certain isotopes of Cobalt are radioactive- but it exists in non radioactive states as well. I need to dig out my CRC handbook...
sure does, I have several sets of cobalt drill bits. for blue mirror glass try Maryland Glass and Mirror here in Baltimore (410-752-1050) they are one of my suppliers here at work.
Ask for Dave, he may be able to help you. they have all kinds of wierd glass stuff.
