Uraninite (Pitchblende) Rock 6.0 Oz; 18,400. and 50 similar items

Natural Uranium Rock URANINITE Weight: 6.0 Oz. Radiation: 18,400. CPM (mid-level) $20.00 plus $12.80 shipping This rock was collected at Jurassic Canyon, 18 miles NW of Grants NM, during October 2025. Jurassic Canyon is the richest uranium field in the USA, and fourth richest in the entire world. The uranium ore here was mined at a 3,000 ft depth. The "mother lode" is 600 ft thick, and it extends horizontally at depth for six miles, passing directly beneath the long extinct Mount Taylor uranium volcano and beneath the Jurassic Canyon area, which had been inhabited by many varied species of dinosaurs during the Jurassic Era, 200 million to 148 million years ago. The outdated early name for this uranium field was "Poison Canyon," which is inaccurate for several reasons. This name was launched during the 1930s, nearly twenty years prior to the discovery of uranium ore. The outdated name does NOT refer to uranium or radiation in any way. The early name referred to several non-radioactive biological poisons that cause hair loss or pregnancy miscarriages in farm animals that graze on the land. Those poisons are: loco weed, arsenic, and selenium. The term, Jurassic Canyon, is geologically and historically more accurate, because it refers directly to the many dinosaurs that co-existed with the active phases of Mount Taylor, the nearby uranium volcano. SHIPPING: This will be via postal "Ground Advantage," which is economical in its rates and also transports the rock container via land, instead of via cargo airplane.
