Scientific information: Cuprosklodowskite is a rare uranium-bearing silicate mineral known for its vibrant green color. Forming in fibrous or elongated crystals, its uranium content is responsible for its weak gamma radiation, primarily emitted over short distances.
Photos: The photos are taken under strong lighting to ensure accurate representation of the specimen’s natural colors. It is recommended to display the mineral in well-lit environments to fully appreciate its vibrant green hue.
Warning: These minerals are slightly radioactive. Do not ingest or introduce them into your body. They are primarily alpha and gamma emitters. Alpha radiation is easily shielded, even by a sheet of paper. The specimens are sold with a plexiglass box that provides ample shielding.
It is important not to spend many hours per day near these minerals and to keep them in their protective box or in a well-ventilated area. They can be safely handled, but wash your hands immediately afterward. For any questions, concerns, or requests, please contact us privately :)
Shipping: Shipping is typically processed the day after the order is placed, with tracking provided. Special care is taken in packaging, including an appropriate protective container. Orders from the same customer will be grouped, and any excess shipping fees will be refunded as per agreement.
