Uraninite Uranium Rock: 4.3 Oz., 51,000 Cpm and 50 similar items

URANINITE (Pitchblende) Natural Uranium Rock 4.3 oz weight Found June 2017, at Lisbon Valley UT RADIATION: 51,000 CPM, as measured with a standard "pancake probe." $34.00 + $12.80 shipping URANINITE creates special interest, because huge supplies of this type of rock were available to Hitler and the German Nazis during WWII; but Hitler had NO INTEREST in nuclear energy; he called it "Jewish physics," so Heisenberg and other nuclear scientists used none of it to work towards uranium-based nuclear weapons during WWII. If you buy this rock, or any other rock of uraninite, I will include this DVD video produced by the Museum of Moab: URANIUM CRAZE. The video has three 30min films produced by geologist CHARLEY STEEN, who discovered huge deposits of uraninite at his "MI VIDA URANIUM MINE," 40 miles S.E. from the town of Moab. I spent half a day exactly at this mine site, gathering the uraninite rocks there. The mine entrance appears to be open, but it is sealed shut by bricks 15-20 ft inside the entrance. This rock originated near the town of Moab Utah, at the southeastern corner of Utah. A whiskey-drinking geologist, CHARLEY STEEN, discovered the largest deposit of Uraninite at the Lisbon Valley mining area, 40 miles S.E. from Moab, around 1950. The Lisbon Valley area is among the top five uranium areas in the USA. There are about 20 abandoned uranium mines in this region; all are on the upward sides of a long valley. At most locations, rockhounds like me gather the radioactive rocks at the waste piles that are immediately below the mine's entrance. The miners toss the waste rounds down the slope below the entrance. The entrance is easily spotted because of its own wooden frame. In August 2021, GABBY PETITO, the young blonde from Florida, and her murderous boyfriend, visited Moab Utah during their adventurous road tour of the western states. I speculate that they traveled to Moab to visit the famous "Shin-A-Rub" uranium mine, located just eight miles north of Moab, near the paved highway leading to the I-70 Utah interstate freeway. Shin-A-Rub is famous for its "glow-in-the-dark" uranium rocks. The $12.80 shipping cost covers any number of rocks, shipped together in the same package. For instance, if you buy three rocks and $12.80 is charged on each rock, then $25.60 is the likely refund. (The refund amount also depends on the shipped package's total weight.) $34.00 + $12.80 shipping ALPHA RADIATION is the radiation type that is most easily blocked by barriers, even by clothing, paper, or the skin. Alpha radiation is the radiation type that is most commonly emitted by natural uranium. By contrast, Gamma ray radiation, is the "Macho" type of radiation. Gamma rays penetrate all barriers, even metals such as lead. Gamma rays make space travel difficult, because cosmic rays in outer space are mainly gamma radiation. Cosmic radiation at the ISS space station is 240 times more intense than natural surface radiation on Earth; At the surface of red planet Mars, the radiation is 730 times more intense than Earth's surface radiation. The Gamma Ray Burst of October 2022, a tightly focused narrow beam, traveled 2.4 billion light years to Earth; it was the most intense energy event since the early "Big Bang." That GRB interrupted low-frequency AM- radio on Earth for four days. Stephen Buggie, Ph.D. Univ. of New Mexico, Gallup Gallup NM 87301-6979
