Coffinite Uranium Rock Uravan 31,000. Cpm and similar items

COFFINITE NATURAL URANIUM ROCK Radiation level: 31,000 CPM; Found at Uravan Colorado uranium field, June 2021 Weight: 9.8 oz $35.00 + $12.80 shipping COFFINITE is a fairly common uranium mineral. Typically, it has scattered colors of yellow and black on its rock surface. Coffinite is a member of the Zircon mineral group. It was first discovered at the Uravan Colorado uranium area; it is also found at Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. Some Coffinite rocks have been found with uranium densities as high as 72%. Uraninite, another uranium mineral, often occurs at the same minefields as coffinite. Coffinite is named after the famous American uranium geologist, REUBEN COFFIN, who lived from 1886 to 1972; he died at age 86. Jurassic Canyon NM is the USA's richest location for URANIUM rocks to be found, on or near the ground surface. Radiation levels above 40,000. CPM are considered high levels, with regard to comparison with other natural radioactive rocks. This rock, with 32,000. CPM response, is mid-level. NOTE that applications in industrial, medical, or military uses have far higher radiation levels than those found in natural 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 the most intense energy event since the early "Big Bang." That GRB interrupted low-frequency AM-radio on Earth for four days.) The GRB of October 2022 was labeled by astronomers as the BOAT-GRB: "Brightest of All Time."
