Radium :parts:  It's a small glass vial with a piece of ceramic with radium paint on it that was hanging from a light pull chain in the basement/crawlspace I was working it.  It no longer glows on it's own but does under UV light does

Did you have that with you, or does radium paint have some tell tale sign when it's not glowing? Or did you assume that why it was hanging from the light switch?

I knew pretty much immediately what it was, first I held it to a regular light then turned it out to see if it was just glow in the dark paint, it didn't glow, then   I checked it with a UV flashlight in the van and it lit up brightly finally with the Geiger counter when I got home.  They put radium paint on lots of things before they began to appreciate the dangers of it like clock faces and hands, dials and markers for aircraft.  Radium paint is radioluminescent and glows all on it's own no need to shine a light on it to charge it up but over time the phosphors(the part that glows) wear  out and take more energy than the radium can supply to glow, they show under UV though.  I collect all things atomic
