Carnotite Uranium: Jurassic Canyon Nm 1.1 and 50 similar items

Natural Mineral Uranium CARNOTITE Weight: 1.1 oz (very small) Radioactivity: 42,500 CPM (Counts-Per-Minute) This rock was collected at Jurassic Canyon NM, during October 2025 $22.00 plus $9.50 shipping The rock is physically lightweight (small); yet its radioactivity is at the high level, when compared with other natural uranium rocks. On one flat side, it shows 2/3 of the surface colored in YELLOW-ORANGE, which is the natural color of uranium-oxide, U3O8. Often, the very small physical size relates to high levels of measured radioactivity, because the small physical size means that there is very little innert (non-radioactive) rock that blocks the measured radiation. During my many years of rock collecting at this canyon, the strongest radioactivity I have found was 440,000 CPM; yet that rock weighed just one ounce! I am now (2026) preparing a one hour guest lecture on this topic: COLLECTING URANIUM ROCKS AT JURASSIC CANYON NM to be given at the: National Museum of Radiation and Radioactivity located at Oak Ridge TN. If that event is successful, then I will propose to offer the talk also at a famous site: THE NEW YORK EXPLORERS CLUB I visited the New York Explorers Club during October 2023 with my son, who is an MD physician near there. It is located in a classic older house at Manhattan's Upper East Side. Most of the speakers there are celebrity explorers: astronauts who have been to space, submariners who have been to the bottom of the world's deepest oceans, meteorite collectors who have found space rocks at Antarctica, climbing the tall mountains of the Himalayas, and others. But uranium rock collecting is available to anyone who can fly or drive to Grants NM, anytime from May through early November. My lecture will be on every topic related to uranium rock collecting there: the geiger needed, the risk of a rattlesnake bite, radiation levels, the five rock types found there, the nearby Mount Taylor ancient uranium volcano, books about uranium mining, the site's isolation, etc. I will even tell how to locate the Jurassic Canyon: there are ABSOLUTELY NO DIRECTIONAL SIGNS ANYWHERE IN GRANTS NM TELLING WHERE THE CANYON IS! In 2013, my wife and I searched for half a day on nearby roads, yet still, we failed to find it. Later, I paid a retired miner $50.00 to escort me to the canyon, and that was successful! $22.00 plus $9.50 shipping Stephen Buggie, Ph.D. "Have geigers, will travel" Professor Emeritus Univ. of New Mexico, Gallup
