Soddyite with Dewindtite
This is one of my most prized possessions when it comes to uranium minerals. Its from Kipushi in the DR Congo and is about 12 cm across and 5,5 cm in height. The contact doserate is about 500 uSv/h, as measured with the Radiacode 103g.

Not possible to display safely atm :[

Grow and become radioactive ☢️ my little pieces of sand :) see you in two weeks after neutron irradiation. Hopefully I can harvest a bountyfull gamma spectrum.

Yesterday I saw a smudge of Californium-252 (Electroplated on Titantium) for the first time of my life! ☢️
I am really looking forward to making a Video about it :D
Hopefully in the future I get to see these elements in quantities where I can see their colour 😁

Trying out the new #HobbyNuke
I am currently trying to replicate Curie's Chemistry for a huge YouTube project.
(1) Bi/Po Sulfide with Copper complex from separation scheme (2).
(3) First experiments from separation scheme (4).

The man himself, Otto Hahn signed this bottle 🤯

... and apparently he doesn't want me to work with (his) Thoriumnitrate :/
