You probably need a alpha detector and measure for a long duration to compare with background.

Zircon is the best for dating rock. When it cools it traps uranium but wont allow lead into the crystal. By counting the lead they can determine a rocks age.

get a piece of granite and all bet you will see many more clicks on your counder

Zircon actually can be radioactive sometimes. It is the U235 in zircon crystals which is how we radiometricly date some rock. Granite has U235 in it which has a half life of 704 million years. Also this sample does not look very radioactive it could even be the muon decays from cosmic rays from air above

It is interesting... Some specimens of Zircon contain small amounts of Thorium and Uranium. Ekanite is a really good gemstone. I have one. It contains quite a bit of Thorium. It's also cut and polished. It's pear-cut and weighs 2.17cts. It's dark-olive, but it is transparent a has no inclusions. Thorite is a nice stone too, but these are expensive. There is a rare gemstone called Davidite, which is a Uranium-bearing mineral. It's very hard to find, esp. cut.

It probably contains some amount of Uraninite with it. I have large amounts of Uraninite and other radioactive minerals.

It isn't very radioactive... It is probably the background...
darkdjo 2 years ago
I compared it against the background several times. It is radioactive but almost undetectable.

I cant see anything radioactive here
DUDE WHAT YOU´RE RECIEVING IS BACKGROUND RADIAION THAT COMES FROM SPACE AND FROM THE SUN
sciencoking 3 years ago
I always check the background before the element (just don't post it due to file size). This is hardly radioactive, but it is detectible over background.
summersja 3 years ago
well not much of a radioctive, is it?
zooropah82 4 years ago
Nope- not much at all. Just slightly above background.
