URANINITE uranium rocks were first

made famous by Prof. Werner

Heisenberg of Germany. The Czech

Republic in Europe has huge reserves

of them, and the country was taken

over by Germany early in WWII.

Heisenberg was capable of developing

an atomic bomb for Germany, but

Hitler was not interested; Adolf

believed that nuclear physics is

"Jewish science," so Heisenberg's

weapons project was never developed,

and Germany lost WWII.

Here in the USA, geologist Charley

Steen discovered a large reserve of

Uraninite at his "Mi Vida Uranium

Mine," at Lisbon Valley, Utah, 45

miles south of Moab UT, 1950.

In August 2021, the attractive blond

Gabbie Petito and her murderous

boyfriend/fiancee visited Moab UT

during their summer vacation in the

Rocky Mountain states. Likely, they

visited the uranium area at Lisbon

Valley, but especially the Shin-A-Rub

uranium mine, eight miles north of

Moab.  The Shin-A-Rub is especially

famous for its glow-in-the-dark

uranium rocks. The "glow" response is

NOT due to high radiation, but 

rather due to the other minerals that

are bonded to the uranium.

SUGGESTION TO URANIUM

ROCK HOUNDS: JOIN ME SOON

TO COLLECT MORE ROCKS!

The underground mines at Jurassic

Canyon closed during the late 1980s,

because nuclear power had become

unpopular at that time. But today,

nuclear power has restored its

popularity among environmentalists,

mainly because it has NO carbon

content and it contributes nothing

to global warming. The underground

mining will resurrect, if/when the

world price of uranium reaches

$65.00 per lb. Currently, that

price is rising, and is approx.

$58.00. The whole town of Grants

NM is eager to see the return of

prosperity when the mines are

opened again!

But uranium "rockhounds" should

arrange with me soon, to join me for

uranium rock-collecting; when the

mines re-open, fences around them

will keep "rockhounds" away from the

best rock-collecting sites! It has

now been two full years since I

have been out there collecting rocks

with visitors; join me now!  My first

14 of 35 trips to Jurassic Canyon

were done alone, but that is risky

because the uranium field is inhabited

by a few rattlesnakes; I fear that,

if I collect rocks alone and get a

snake bite, I might not be able to

drive the car 22 miles to the hospital

in Grants. I need a companion when

collecting the rocks!  On the last day

of a 3-5 day outing, I divide the

found rocks with the guest, 50-50

so we each get the same weight of

found rocks, at the end. If any

found rocks are radioactive dinosaur

fossils, those too are shared 50-50.

Arrange your rock-collecting visit!
