This rock was found on the ground surface at Uravan CO,

NM, 17 miles NW from the mining town of Naturita CO, on

Colorado state highway 141. The date of the rock find was

June 2021.

Twenty miles south of Naturita CO, on Hwy 141, are highway

signs that identify "Disappointment Valley."  North of the

valley are located uranium's economic riches.  South of the

valley there is NO uranium, just disappointment. Hence the

descriptive name, "Disappointment Valley."

North of Naturita and Uravan is 50 miles of scenic wonders, 

the red rock cliffs of the Gateway area. The highway is

fully paved and the surroundings are very scenic. The

north exit of Hwy 141 connects to the city (pop. 90,000)

of Grand Junction, which also involved itself in the uranium

mining industry until the end of the 1980s.
