Fluorescent Andersonite In 1945 the United States detonated the first atomic bomb and usd in the nuclear age. Because of the need to power our futuristic energy source a new kind of gold rush began. A rush not for yellow gold but for yellow, black, and green Uranium ores. With Geiger counters and scintillometers the modern day prospectors searched for the precious ores. The specimen illustrated below is some of the uranium ore they searched for. These specimens are great for mineral collectors, school teachers, and college instructors. Scientists find the specimens valuable for research in trace elements, isotope geochemistry, x ray diffraction, scintillation, fluorescence, dosimeter testing, radiation shielding technology, neutron interactions, and alpha, beta and gamma ray studies. Follow in the foot steps of Marie Curie, Ernest Ruthorford, and Henri Becquerel and own a piece of real uranium ore. A very nice large specimen (6 inches long!) of Andersonite. This specimen is from uranium mines located in Arizona It would make a fantastic addition to your mineral collection. Glows like crazy under any UV light.

If you are looking for exotic uranium bearing mineral specimens and things related to atomic energy then you have come to the right place.I'm a read more
