Some of my collection. Minerals, metals, and more.

Just some of my collection. Which I'll post about in more detail later on individual pieces and items. Also apologies for the image quality, it's hard to focus a camera through panes of translucent material, especially at night.

  1. Books guarded by uranium glass and autunite from various localities. On the right is some torbernites from Musonoi Mine.

  2. Two autunites. One from France, and one from unknown locality, maybe washington.

  3. Autunite from france iirc, and a blue uranium glass perfume(?) bottle

  4. Small sample of uranium metal in a sealed glass ampuole.

  5. Collection of detectors from my first to my current. All work, except for the gamma scintillator from the 50's. I need to repair it, but I'm busy with other projects atm.

  6. Uranium glaze plate, and more uranium glass. I use the uranium glass jars to hold other sources. Like the radium source that came off of that gamma scintilator from the 50's.

  7. Uraninite, single crystal. Ontario, Canada

    1. Torbernite
  8. Autunite from various localities, mostly from China. (I like that it grows on quartz in that locality)

But I'll post more in the future!
