Coffinite Uranium Rock 5.6 Oz 85,900. Cpm and 50 similar items

COFFINITE Natural Uranium Rock Weight: 5.6 Oz. Radiation: 85,900. CPM $70.00 plus $12.80 shipping This rock was found during October 2025 at the Jurassic Canyon uranium field, located 18 miles NW of Grants NM. Grants was the center of USA uranium mining from 1950 until 1989; Two mining companies are now involved in applying to reopen their mines because the world price of uranium has risen this decade. Recently, rock-buyers have made jokes about Coffinite uranium rocks, that the name suggest burial boxes; maybe the person who discovered Coffinite could have had a short lifespan. That guess is INCORRECT; Coffinite uranium was discovered by American geologist Reuben Clare Coffin, who lived to the age of 86 years (1886-1972); everyone will agree that 86 years is a full lifetime, NOT shortened by rocks' radiation! Coffinite often occurs in ore deposits that are accompanied by Uraninite (Pitchblende). Both minerals, Coffinite and Uraninite, are widely found at Jurassic Canyon, and at other mineral areas of Utah or Colorado. Uranium rocks can only be shipped to USA mailing addresses, because of a strict rule by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Stephen Buggie, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus (and rockhound hobbyist!)
