Ex. George Kamin Collection

Wow! This very large, mega rich, almost sold (!) pitchblende specimen from southern Utah (most likely either the Mi Vida mine near Moab or the White Canyon District south of Monticello) is one the richest uranium ore specimens I have ever had! It basically “pegs” every Geiger Counter and scintillometer I have at the lowest sensitivity setting… HOT!! Needless to say **I WILL NOT BE SHIPPING THIS SPECIMEN OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES**. Domestic shipping only. Specimen will be shipped in multiple large lead lines boxes to comply with shipping regulations. A truly impressive uraninite specimen and a great piece of Atomic Age history that must be treated with appropriate respect/precaution but is otherwise safe to enjoy and appreciate in your collection. Rare!!
