AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS

URANIUM MINE: CHARLIE STEEN'S

MI VIDA MINE, Lisbon Valley UT

The rock was found, June 2017, at ground

surface, 40 miles S.E. from Moab Utah, at Lisbon

Valley. In 1952, Texas geologist Charlie Steen applied

his geological discovery theory at his "Mi Vida Mine"

and found an enormous untouched deposit of black pure

uranium. This type of valuable uranium was already

known in central Europe as "pitchblende," but Charlie

Steen renamed it as uraninite. During the next ten years, geologist Charlie had 130 million dollars at his

mine (a billion in today's money). His town of Moab UT

became known as a wealthy town; Steen held annual

parties for the entire town, paid from his uranium fortune. He donated generously to local schools and charities, and served three years in the Utah State Senate. Whoever buys this uraninite rock will get a copy of a 90 minute

DVD video, Moab's Uranium Craze. Today, Moab's

uranium boom has ended but it has now become a center

for mountain biking, being surrounded by three red-

rock national parks.

A Bicron Analyst geiger instrument and a standard

44-9 pancake probe assisted in this rock's valuable

discovery. The rock was found on the ground surface,

approximately 1000 ft west (downhill) from the entrance to

Steen's Mi Vida uranium mine. The rock's activity

level is in the faster range, relative to other similar

natural rocks and above that of FiestaWare orange plates.

Its measured response rate, 66k cpm, is

approximately 2.2 times that detected from Fiesta

Ware ceramic dinner plates crafted during the

FiestaWare uranium era, 1936- 1943. The white dot,

seen in photos, identifies surface areas

with faster activity.

Weight of rock: 3.3 oz

WHAT TYPE OF MINERAL

It is very likely uraninite. Advice from

any geologists who can identify this ore

more precisely will be appreciated. This

handsome rock was made in USA!

HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE OF

BLACK URANINITE URANIUM

Czechoslovakia in central Europe had

huge reserves of uraninite uranium during

the early years of WWII, and these reserves,

known as "pitchblende," were available to Hitler

and the German Nazis. This became known

to U.S. intelligence, and it made America's

Manhattan Project (1942-45) especially

urgent. Later, around 1950-1970, uraninite

was the top ore in geologist Charley Steen's

most famous uranium mine 30 miles S.E.

of Moab Utah, the Mi Vida Mine.

BONUS 40-MINUTE DVD VIDEO,

NOT FOUND ON YOUTUBE!

Enclosed with the uranium rock will be my

original DVD video disk, Poison Canyon Uranium

ACTIVITY LEVELS OF THE ROCK

This rock was measured with a pancake probe on a Ludlum 2200

ratemeter / scaler, the most accurate geiger instrument available.

The terms LOW / MIDDLE / HIGH activity are by comparison only

with other natural uranium rocks; these terms DO NOT compare

any of the rocks with medical, industrial, or military applications.

ALL FEDERAL AND POSTAL

REGULATIONS ARE FOLLOWED

These regulations allow rock collectors to

own and to mail natural uranium rocks. The

federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

owns uranium fields and allows hobbyist "rock

hounds" to gather rocks at those fields. The

rocks must be properly labeled, and must be

double-boxed when mailed. The federal Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) does not allow any

manufacturing from the rocks without an advance

NRC license. The rock parcels can be mailed to

addresses within the USA but are NOT allowed

to be exported to any foreign country.

SHIPPING COST: ONLY

THE ACTUAL USPS POSTAGE
