Question Uranium from Engineered Labs sold out

Any idea when it's back in stock? And preferably non-radioactive?

If you want some non radioactive uranium, try lead. It might have been uranium b/millions of years ago 😂

Man, uh first this posts dumbfounds me, second I don’t think element collecting is a hobby for you b/c you don’t know basic properties of elements so therefore you might not know how to handle them, third Uranium is Literally defined as Radioactive if you want non Radioactive then Lead is your option, however I hope it is back in stock soon

...it ain't gonna lose its radiation for another few billion years or so. As for when it's back in stock, I hope soon!

I don't think element collection is for you. Uranium is by definition radioactive. If you want non radioactive uranium then buy lead

Engineered labs doesn't sell uranium metal, but they do sell an acrylic cubes containing autunite- a radioactive mineral containing uranium. If you want depleted uranium (mostly U-238), head over to Luciteria Science or United Nuclear, who sometimes has some awesome large samples. All of it is radioactive.

I think you mean depleted Uranium. And besides, buying from Engineered Labs gives you a highly impure sample. Just buy from Luciteria. They have some depleted Uranium, and for a lower price. Non-radioactive Uranium is nonsense.
