Uranium like that isn’t very hard to get ahold of. I have quite a lot of uranium now in my Cabinet of Curiosities. According to my Geiger Counter, just 5 feet from the glass cabinet there is no perceivable difference between the cabinet and background radiation. ---

I tried buying this and was given some kind of BS reason that it couldn’t be shipped to my perfectly valid address. Now I am just trying to get a refund.
