For Sale: Uranium Ore
May 5, 2008I’m offering excess uranium ore from my early summer trips for sale. This includes an assortment of decent specimen pieces from Lisbon Valley, San Juan Co., Utah, and bulk carnotite-tyuyamunite ore from the Grants, NM region. Read below for details.
The Utah material, top, is a hard, coarse-grained red Chinle sandstone incorporated with veins and disseminated black uraninite. Fracture faces exhibit some colorful andersonite and other secondary uranium minerals. This comes from Big Indian Valley, San Juan Co., Utah. Piece descriptions and suggested pricing are provided after the jump.
The New Mexico material, bottom, comes from Poison Canyon near Grants, NM. It is a tough, gray Todilto limestone saturated with yellow carnotite and tyuyamunite and occasionally some dark-colored uraniferous humates. Unfortunately this collecting location has become inaccessible and this may be the last batch of this stuff for a while. Sold by weight at $12 / kg.

The Grants, NM ore averages about 5 kCPM and is sold by weight. I will try to honor requests for large pieces, small pieces, etc., but I will not break up rocks to suit. What you get is what I have. Also, minimum order of 500 g is in effect (none of these 10-cent sales).

Educators get a 50% discount (note, educator status must be verifiable). Payment via check or PayPal. I am not a wholesale dealer—I don’t mind if the buyer sells / trades in limited quantities, but if you just mark this stuff up and flip it on eBay, we shan’t do business again!

Hello,
I would be interested in purchasing numbers 8 and 15 of the Utah material as well as 3 kilos of the Grants, NM product.
Please contact me w/ further information as to total cost including shipping w/ insurance.
By the way you have a great site. I myself have been working the last couple of days on some Fiestaware-type glaze grindings with some beautiful yellow extractions w/ bright green fluorescence coming out of the orange material after HCL extraction, as well as good results with a similarly inspired Magnesium powder/Uranium glass reaction to obtain elemental slag a couple weeks past (if you can think of an efficient way of separating the silicon metal I’d be obliged), and stumbled on your site while looking up information on uranium chloride.
Thanks again and with best regards,
James
I’ll take #16 and 1 kg of the canyon stuff. I just bought my geiger counter and would like to test some stuff out. Thanks!
Total everything up with shipping and let me know how much as well as your paypal. I can give you my shipping address once I paid

Hello Carl,
I am a geochemist with the U.S. Geological Survey. I would like permission to reproduce your photo of uraninite that appears on mindat.org (photo-34711), along with its location information. I am compiling interesting photos for a photo gallery on our USGS U-group web page.
Hi Robert,
You are welcome to use that image. Thanks for your interest.
Best regards, Carl Willis
can you please tell me which of those rocks are still available today? I am interested in 2-6-7 . Paypal. Thanks.
Andre
Carl,
Just found your website, and like it a lot!
My order for a GM counter from Aware Electronics is due to arrive this week–targeted first for checking radon levels (hopefully all very low). Great contrast would thereafter be provided by hotter experiments using your ores such as nos. 1, 15, and 18 of Utah and 3kg of Poison Canyon. Are these ores still available?
Best regards,
Les
Hey Mr. Carl,
I know its a few years later but if your still dealing the ore ive been looking to buy a few kilograms of it. Is it still for sale? If so just shoot me an email all you have to say is “uranium for sale still” and i’ll write back to you with an order.
Thanks,
Lane
Hey, if any of the ore is still available please email me, it would be greatly appreciated. I only want a small specimine of the mexican ore to be sent to Australia. Thanks 😀
Carl,
I would love to purchase #12 from you if you still have it. If not, i would be happy to purchase #9. Don’t worry, i am an element collector and and have been searching everywhere for some uranium within reasonable price. Thanks so much!!! ( just e-mail me whenever!)

Carl: hello, nice science. Thanks. I need about 200 cc of radioactive material. It should be active in the alpha and beta rays and granular with a maximum size of about .125″. I can crush material of course. This is for an electricity experiment. Thanks, Kirk Miller

Uranium Ore for sale.. 5k available .. contact me for more details ceo.inbox1@gmail.com
Do you consider shipment to China? I’m a nuclear engineer, working on a digital gamma spectrometer project, and collecting radioactive checking source all the time. Currently I own two Ra226, one Am241 and K40 powders, and have access to U238/U235, Cs137, Co57 sources. I’d really like to add Uranium ore to my collection. All shipment fee is on me and I think intensity of 500 cpm is not a problem for customs inspection.

Do you have any left? I am interested in a few kg.
Thanks,
Steve
