There is currently Uranium Element sample - Uranyl Zinc Acetate (ZnUO2) for sale on Ebay (UK) (At the time of writing 04 October 2019). I have just received mine and it gets a respectable ~2000cpm sat right next to a SBM-20. This is the same seller I have gotten Uranium dioxide (UO2yellow cake) and Uranium trioxide (UO3) from. He seems reliable and have exchanged the odd email with him. If you decide to buy you will get a small amount, about 0.5g in a small vile (as terribly pictured below...). Also please note that I have absolutely no affiliation with the seller, he is simply someone I have bought a few different radioactive samples from. I am also not sure on whether he will ship abroad so if interested give him a shout. He may also still have some UO2 and UO3 available as I think his Ebay listings were taken down for those samples, so worth contacting him if interested.
