NATURAL URANIUM

ROCK: COFFINITE

$16.00 + $9.00 shipping

Radiation: 29,000 cpm,

measured with a 

standard pancake probe.

Rock was found at Uravan

Colorado, June 2021.

Weight: 0.8 oz. (small)

One white dot on a side

shows the surface

location with the strongest

radioactive response.

Beware of "METER-

NEEDLE-SLAM"

especially with higher

level uranium rocks!

Many geigers top-out with

highest measurable levels

at 40,000 cpm or 50,000

cpm. This rock's response

is below those two levels 

I will enclose for your 

reading my half-page essay

on "METER-NEEDLE-SLAM"

to encourage cautious

measurement with this

particular rock!

COFFINITE is a common

mineral, found widely at

many canyon locations, but

this rock has lower activity

than other Coffinite rocks

I have found over the years.

SHIPPING COST is always

reduced if several items are

purchased, to be shipped

combined in the same

package.

Shipping must be to a

mailing address within the

USA.  The Federal Nuclear

Regulatory Agency does

NOT allow any shipment

of uranium rocks to any

other country.

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.

$85.00. The whole town of Grants

NM is eager to see the return of

local prosperity when the mines are

re-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!
