NATURAL URANIUM ROCKS

2.5 OZ. SEALED SMALL POLY BAG

All these rocks are from Jurassic Canyon, NM:

Richest Surface-Level Uranium Field in the USA

 

I collected these rocks on two prospecting trips this summer,

during June and July 2021.  These rocks are too small to sell individually,

so they are gathered as a small group, totalling 2.5 oz. weight. The rocks

are a random mixture of these enriched mineral types:  Jurassic Todilto

Limestone (JTL), Carnotite,  Coffinite,  Tyuyamunite, and Uraninite.  I

will enclose a geology journal article that declares Jurassic Canyon NM

to be the main worldwide source for JTL uranium rocks. What makes this

especially interesting is that the JTL rock is the type most likely to contain

radioactive fossils of dinosaurs. Several states have locations with ancient

dinosaur fossils (e.g., Oregon's John Day State Park, or Colorado's

Dinosaur National Monument), but only two locations have numerous radioactive

dinosaur fossils: Jurassic Canyon NM, and sites near Price Utah's

Dinosaur Museum.

 

 

SEALED CLEAR DOUBLE POLY BAG

These rocks must be left sealed inside their clear container: Two thick zip-lock

bags, one inside the other.  DO NOT OPEN; the rocks' radioactivity can be

measured safely through the double-thick clear poly bag. The rock varieties

differ from others, but each bag's highest measured activity level is

10,000 cpm or more, when measured with a sensitive pancake probe.

 

 

 

ALL FEDERAL REGULATIONS ABOUT URANIUM
ROCKS ARE CORRECTLY OBEYED

(1) BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (BLM):  Collection of rocks is okay

for rockhound hobbyists;  ATV vehicles are not allowed;  daily limit

on weight of collected rocks permitted.

(2)  NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC):  No manufacturing

from rocks allowed without NRC advance license; correct labeling;

medical heath safety statement.

(3)  U.S. POST OFFICE  (USPS): Double-box packaging of mailed

rocks; metal shielding of uranium rocks;  no exports allowed

to any foreign countries.

 

 

SAFE HANDLING OF ROCKS IS PRESENTED

ON SEVERAL WRITTEN  HANDOUTS

(1)  "Health Precautions to be Followed When Handling Uranium Ore"

(one page; written by the seller)

(2)  "A Word about Safe Handling"

(one page; written by geologist book author Robert Lauf)

(3)  "Unwrapping and Storing Your Uranium Rock Collection"

(one page; written by the seller)

 

 

 

 

POLY BAGS ARE SELECTED

RANDOMLY PRIOR TO MAILING

These poly bags vary in their activity levels, but buyers cannot

choose a preferred activity level: medium or upper.  Each bag is wrapped

in brown paper before it is sold, so its specific activity level is unknown.

Its activity level will be at some random level, 10,000 cpm or higher,

with level measured by a standard pancake probe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SHIPPING

Shipping is only allowed within the USA, NOT to any foreign country,

because of USPS postal regulations. If you buy several poly bags, you

may be charged $6.20 postal on each bag, but I will REFUND to the

buyer's PayPal account any overpayment on the combined package.

The postage refund will be done soon after the package has been mailed.
