Uraninite Uranium Rock: L.V., Utah 7.4OZ., and similar items

URANINITE (Pitchblende) Natural Uranium Rock 7.4 oz weight Found June 2017, at Lisbon Valley UT RADIATION: 20,000 CPM, measured with a standard "pancake probe." $26.00 + $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. This rock originated near the town of Moab Utah, at the southeastern corner of Utah. A Ph.D. 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. 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. $26.00 + $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. Learn more about Gamma Ray Bursts at YouTube! There are now about 80 teaching videos on GRBs at YouTube; this is one of the most amazing topics in all of astronomy. My P3 geiger probe has a large 3" pancake sensor made at Ukraine in the late 1980s for the USSR Soviet military; it is tuned to respond mainly to gamma rays; if aimed upward at the sky, it could detect distant GRB signals from other galaxies, such as the one that hit Earth in October 2022. If you order two or more rocks, then all will be shipped combined, and the overpayment on total shipping cost will be fully refunded after the package has been mailed.
