a standard "pancake probe."

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.

 

Highly recommended book:  Thomas Powers

(1993):  HEISENBERG'S WAR: THE SECRET

HISTORY OF THE GERMAN BOMB.  608

pages, hardbound;  available for

under $10.00 . Werner Heisenberg was a 

brilliant atomic scientist; he earned his Nobel

Prize in physics at a younger age than Albert

Einstein did, but the German dictator gave him

no encouragement to develop an atomic bomb

weapon durung WWII.

 

This rock was found at the location of the IKE-NIXON MINE, at a high elevation above the Lisbon Valley Utah uranium fields. Ike and Nixon were national leaders from 1953 to 1961, so that is the time interval when the rocks were likely unearthed at this uranium mine.

 

This rock originated 40 miles from the town of

Moab Utah, at the S.E. corner of Utah.

A whiskey-drinking 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.

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.

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.
