Sample Measurement & Certification

Radioactive rock samples may contain one or more minerals such as Tyuyamunite (green/yellow), Uraninite (black, crystalline), Pitchblende (black), Carnotite (green/yellow, lemon-yellow), Uranophane (bright yellow), and Gummite (orange-brown).

Each specimen is measured with a GCA-07W Digital Geiger Counter that has passed NRC’s ANSI-STD N323A certification. Activity of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation in Counts Per Minute (CPM) is provided along with measurement certification.

Rock samples typically have one area that is more radioactive than the rest of the specimen. Measurement is taken from the most radioactive portion of the sample. CPM is the total radiation read from the sample.

Detector readings can differ: Radioactive rock is a high alpha source emitter. If your Geiger counter cannot detect alpha radiation, its CPM reading will be significantly lower than the count provided on the label and certificate.

Useful for testing Geiger counters
License exempt; sample sizes vary
Shipped in a labeled metal container with overall CPM and a Certificate of Authenticity; CPM will vary from the sample shown
Container size approximately 1-3/4 inches high and 2-1/2 inches in diameter

Safety Information

Use caution when handling mineral samples. Avoid crushing or grinding the sample. Do not breathe in powdered material or dust, and do not eat or drink while handling it.

Wash your hands after touching or holding the mineral, before eating or handling food.
