Archived from radmon.org - originally posted 09/03/2023 A while ago I saw a video (below) where the creator had purchased several 'Negative Ion Energy' products that actually contain radioactive Thorium. Most of these products are wearable items and some other 'Nume' cards, or whatever they are. At the time I searched for these but seems they had all been pulled form the stockists shelves. Then I saw a more recent video by the same creator and searched again, and lo and behold, the same products are stocked up again and readily for sale - to unsuspecting people that may possibly actually wear

Archived from radmon.org - originally posted 13/11/2022 I recently obtained some radioactive rocks from an eBay seller for a low low price of..... £1 each! 😆 Plus £8 shipping each... 🫤 I didn't realise how much there really was until I weighed them, and they come in at a whopping 14.5 lbs, or 6.6 kg! 😯 I believe they have come from the South Terras Uranium Mine in Cornwall. The mine was closed back in 1930 and apparently the mine itself is inaccessible since then although someone gained access and took some pictures of the mine itself. It is still very radioactive now. Some of the buildings

Archived from radmon.org - originally posted 04/10/2019 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

Archived from radmon.org - originally posted 06/09/2019 I have just received my latest specimen, Autunite. It is quite fantastic! It is tiny, quite spicy and fluoresces like I have never seen before. The pictures don't do it justice as the colour is strikingly vibrant and has more of a yellow than green fluorescence. I struggled taking photos of it due to the amount of light it produces when it fluoresces. Like trying to take pictures of a light bulb! I took a few pictures with differing light levels. A selection are below. 22,000 CPM on a SBM-20 is quite spicy! Very happy with it. "Autunite

Archived from radmon.org - originally posted 11/08/2016 I have always been a little dubious about leaving radioactive test sources just laying around, although they emit small amounts of radiation. I knocked up a little lead lined box over the weekend to keep my test sources in. The box is just one of those cheapo wooden boxes from India (or somewhere) that you see for sale in markets and such that I lined with 2mm lead flashing (used above windows), painted bright orange with some paint left over from an old project. I added a label on top that is from a check source I bought from ebay and a
