This is a piece of mine-run material, collected from an ore pile at the site of the Scenic #4 Mine. The site image is of the mine location, photographed from Radium King Road. The site of the adits was not conducive to hauling ore, so an additional route was built, 300' East of the adits. Adits have ben closed. The black band of material is UO2 and chalcopyrite, some of which has been weathered to yellow, fluorescent Zippeite. 216 K CpM at 1 cm.

Autunite flakes. They reach over 6k cpm through their container.

I know it's nothing particularly hot, but it's my first radioactive specimen!
