Re: Smithsonite with Uranium
One could hardly call that a peak. This is going to need the x-ray source to see what¡¯s there.

No this was internal radiation only. I'll post an XRF soon.Do you detect a small peak very near 8.64 for Zn?Geo

Re: Smithsonite with Uranium
No convincing Zn peaks in either the Si-PIN or the CdTe. Were you using
Am241 to excite?

no but I put up a picture of the notes on the box, on the Smithsonite thread.. I added W/U myself. Maybe you recognize the second word in the original note?Geo

Re: Smithsonite with Uranium
Attached is a better scan as it ran overnight. I do believe Zn peak is starting to show. Nothing like real XRF tho in this case.

Re: Mystery of wulfenite Pb(MoO4) from Globe, AZ
Charles, that is a good piece of detective work. It is probably the coronadite that has the U. We found a small late stage vein of coronadite in one of the samples from Petaca that was scanned with

Yes uranium for sure Charles.... Just ran a scan and pinpointed uranium right away by the clear Th-234 peaks and Pb X-Rays like you showed me the other day.
Thanks for that.

Re: Mystery of wulfenite Pb(MoO4) from Globe, AZ
OK I have one. It needs a good testing with this updated gear, then I can send it for you to test and analyze. One thing I'm curious about is radium replacement in a crystal.
This is really obvious

I do not have radioactive Smithsonite in my collection. If there is such a
thing it is probably U in the matrix.

Mystery of wulfenite Pb(MoO4) from Globe, AZ
Normally wulfenite is not radioactive but I found one a couple of years ago
that is slightly so and I added it to my collection. The most curious
thing about this specimen is that it is pitch black
