Page 1 of 5 Autunite is one of the most brilliant fluorescent minerals and is very desirable to collectors. These pictures were taken using a long wave ultraviolet light but Autunite will glow as well under short wave uv. Not only is it Fluorescent but it is also Radioactive. The radiation measurements for these specimens were taken
using a standard CDV700 with the standard "hot dog" probe and were
taken at the surface of the specimen.
specimens were mined by hand. Unless otherwise noted, all specimens consist of Autunite on matrix of Granite Pegmatite which also may contain Mica, Garnet and Beryl. Please review the " Regulations " section for our
guarantee, shipping information, compliance and requirements
to purchase certain specimens.

A very nice display specimen. Very brilliant when exposed to Ultra Violet light. Measuring 6 1/2x 3x 1 3/4 inch and weighing 21.0 ounces. Radiation is measured at 30,000 counts per minute with probe 1 inch from the surface (Beta+Gamma) and 4.0 mR/hr, Gamma only. Number 0701118
$300.00

From time to time we have Autunite crystals that are free of matrix rock. These crystals measure from 1/8 inch up to 3/4 inch across. The crystals in each bag total 2 Grams. These Autunite crystals contain less than 10% matrix, rock, sand or autunite dust. That's over 90% PURE AUTUNITE crystals! The crystals will weigh at least two grams total. The bag of Autunite will register at least 10,000 counts per minute(15 Mr/Hr) on a CDV700 Geiger counter with the shield open (Beta+Gamma). With the shield closed these bags will register at least 0.5 Mr/Hr (Gamma only) The Autunite crystals pictured here are a random sampling of the actual crystals. The crystals you will receive will be similar to these and will meet the specifications listed above. 2 Grams for $15.00

Need a source to check your counter?
These disks are perfect for verifying that your counter is working or for experiments. They contain Autunite that is sealed inside clear Lucite plastic. All Gamma and most of the Beta radiation escapes through the plastic to your counter while the Alpha is stopped. The Autunite in these disks will also glow very bright when exposed to long wave Uv light!
Normally there are two disk sizes. One inch across and two inch across. Cost is determined by the activity level of the disk and not by the physical size. We also have a few 1 1/2 inch squares and some one inch rounds with a "Smiley" face imbedded in it.. Using a CDV700 with standard probe radiation will be from 1,000 cpm to over 10,000 cpm depending on the disk. Price per disk: 1,000 cpm to 4,000 cpm = $15.00 5,000 cpm - 10,000 cpm = $20.00 Please specify what radiation output you desire. (These disks are not intended as a calibration source)

This very large specimen is covered on one side with a thick coating of Autunite crystals. It measures 10 x 5 x 4 inches and weighs 12 pounds 8.5 ounces. Radiation is measured at 25,000 counts per minute and 2.5 mR/hr. (Number 0904202) A great investment at $700.00

A huge specimen of Autunite on Granite matrix. Radiation is measured at 30,000cpm (Beta+Gamma) and 4.0mR/hr Gamma only. This specimen has been coated with invisible Acrylic to preserve the crystal structure. #S0803128 Only $250.00 SOLD Click on either picture for more information To order this specimen click here. Better get this while you still can. Tightening rules are making it impossible to list specimens like this on Ebay. |
