IT SAYS ROCK NATURALLY HAS RADIATION IN THEM.
PLACE THE COUNTER ON THE GROUND FOR A ACCURATE READING.

@Huffdev Technically, it's not a Geiger Counter. It's a Scintillator, and a very good one. I have that model too. It's a PM1703M, and it only gets gamma, or x-ray radiation. I paid $495 for mine including shipping. I bought it from a company called Air Chek.

how much was that geiger counter and where did you get that from. Whats it called?
-
Idiot, your examples are of electromagnetic radiation not ionizing radiation. I call you and idiot and not ignorant because you are using the internet where the facts are literaly at your fingertips.

Since you don't know the difference between ionizing radiation and electromagnetic radiation it is useless to debate you. Learn the difference between the two and you will understand the danger.

Granite contains more poisonous substances than all other counter top material by far.

@youngdones Granite contains Polonium, Lead, Plutonium, Uranium, and Thalium. Other heavy metals like Arsenic, Mercury, Tungsten, Cadium and Vanadium are also present.

Lol, Nukular
Is the solar radiation affecting that thing since you are outside in the sunlight?

Rads or Millirads?
Do these granite slabs contain small amounts of Uranium?

@youngdones
Millrem, not millirads. Many slabs are above source grade uranium levels meaning it can be profitably turned into nuclear fuel and is supposed to be regulated by the NRC. Bg loophole here.
