I am looking for pictures of antique/old black lightbulbs?
I collect beach glass, and recently found a "black amethyst" (or so I thought) piece. I sent a pic to a beach glass historian who is convinced it is part of the base of an old lightbulb, but the glass is too thick to be that of a lightbulb.
I am trying to find pics of what she is talking about, with no luck. Can you help me?
Here is a pic of the glass, for reference. It is a deep purple when held up to light, but black in appearance.

Please let me know if the links do not work, and if I am posting this in the wrong section, please re-direct me.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you Mike!
If this helps, the glass is on the end of a popsicle stick.
"who is convinced it is part of the base of an old light bulb", not actually the light bulb itself. It could possibly be part of a base for a light bulb, but I'm not sure how that would work. It's interesting because it looks like it's smooth on one side and rough on the other.

This is the closest picture I can find to a light bulb that might have a base made of something similar to what you found.
It looks like raw amethyst normally is in a crystal type form, so if what you have *is* black amethyst I'm guessing it came from some finished processed piece.
