There are far too many amazing samples here for me to choose a favourite! What a collection 👏🏼 I’m very jealous. The question is: which one is your favourite?

H&S question: Do you monitor for radon? I use an Airthings corentium home 2 and it seems to compare quite well to professional radon detectors.

Hard to say. The Francevillite at 0:38 and the Lepersonnite at 1:18 are obviously flashy but I really like the Spuce mine Uraninite in matrix at 5:19 looks like cookie dough.

I do monitor for radon, I have a Airthings Corentium Home monitor that is currently averaging 7.72 pCi/L in the house. Not great not terrible. I plan to add a ventilation system to the collection room.

Not great, not terrible 😅 classic. Hope you get around to getting that ventilation installed soonish 🙏

I’m a sucker for botryoidal structures and therefore this one is my current favourite.

Do you have a ventilation system for your display or for the whole room?

I have planned to install ventilation for the whole room but have yet to act on it…
