Uraninite (Pitchblende) Rock 3.1 Oz; 34,800. and 50 similar items

Natural Uranium Rock URANINITE Weight: 3.1 oz. Radioactivity: 34,800. CPM (counts per minute) This rock, with many others, was found at Jurassic Canyon, 18 miles NW from Grants NM, during October 2025. This was a four- day rockhounding episode; two rock collectors from the Minneapolis MN region joined me for this expedition. Weather was excellent. We rock collectors appcreciate the fact that there are NO MOSQUITOS and NO COCKROACHES at the canyon. The main wildlife there are the ever-present DIAMONDBACK RATTLESNAKES. In my many visits to the canyon, I have only seen one snake. Other rock collectors who accompany me have seen two other snakes, each on separate trips. During my 12 years at two African universities (Univ. of Zambia, Univ. of Malawi), I saw multiple poisonous snakes every day, yet none over there were as large as the Diamondback Rattlesnakes here in the USA uranium Southwest! During the early years, I usually traveled alone to the canyon. More recently, I always travel there with a visitor. In case of a snake bite, I am not sure whether I, at age 79, could drive the car 18 miles to the local county hospital at Grants. I have already checked: The county hospital is fully stocked with freshly-dated anti-venom protective doses against rattlesnake bites.
