Carnotite Ore Samples from Utah & Colorado — 20K–25K CPM
These are individual natural carnotite-bearing uranium ore samples from Utah and Colorado, selected from mixed-size material measuring approximately 20,000 to 25,000 CPM on a Ludlum Model 3 with 44-9 pancake probe. Each piece is unique, with natural variation in size, shape, color, and visible uranium mineralization.
These samples commonly show yellow carnotite or related uranium-vanadium mineralization on sandstone or mixed ore matrix. They are excellent medium-activity specimens for beginner collectors, Geiger counter demonstrations, educational comparison sets, or anyone wanting an affordable natural radioactive mineral sample from classic Western uranium localities.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Weight: Varies by individual sample
• Dimensions: Mixed sizes; exact size varies by sample
• Locality: Utah and Colorado, USA
• Condition: Natural, unprocessed, no stabilization or enhancement
RADIATION INFORMATION
• Measured Activity: ~20,000–25,000 CPM
• Instrument: Ludlum Model 3 with 44-9 pancake probe
• UV Response: Not tested / varies by sample
• Shipping: Ships legally under UN 2910 – Excepted Radioactive Material
⚠️ Radiation Notice:
This specimen emits measurable ionizing radiation. Avoid prolonged handling and display appropriately.
COLLECTOR NOTES
• Utah and Colorado are classic uranium-vanadium collecting regions, known for sandstone-hosted carnotite ore and historic uranium mining districts.
• Identified minerals: carnotite and related uranium-vanadium mineralization.
• Non-uranium minerals: sandstone matrix, quartz grains, vanadium minerals, iron oxides, and associated host-rock material may be present.
• Activity relative to size: Moderate to strong, depending on the individual sample received.
• Best use case examples: beginner radioactive mineral specimen, Geiger counter demonstration, classroom comparison sample, uranium-vanadium ore study piece, or affordable element collection specimen.
• Best for: beginner collectors, element collectors, educators, Geiger counter owners, and collectors who want real carnotite-bearing material without moving into premium specimen pricing.
