URANINITE  (Pitchblende)

Natural Uranium Rock  11.2 oz weight (big!)

Found June 2017, at Lisbon Valley UT

RADIATION:  90,000 CPM, measured with

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.

 

This rock originated near the town of Moab

Utah, at the southeastern corner of Utah.

A Ph.D. 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.

YouTube!  There are now about 80 teaching
videos on GRBs at YouTube;  this is one of
the most amazing topics in all of astronomy.
 
My P3 geiger probe has a large 3"
pancake sensor made at Ukraine in the late

 1980s for the USSR Soviet military; it is

tuned to respond mainly to gamma rays; if

aimed upward at the sky, it could detect

distant GRB signals from other galaxies, such

as the one that hit Earth in October 2022.

 
If you buy two or more rocks, then any
overpayment on combined shipping cost
will be fully refunded as soon as the
package has been mailed.
