Ex. George Kamin Collection

This rough Uraninite specimen with minor Pyrite inclusions showcases the raw power and natural beauty of ore from Canada’s iconic Eldorado Mine. The surface glistens with metallic luster, interspersed with faint golden flashes of Pyrite, providing striking visual contrast against the jet-black Uraninite matrix. Its density and unmistakable heft confirm the exceptionally high uranium content characteristic of top-tier Eldorado material.

Formerly part of the George Kamin Collection, this specimen reflects Kamin’s renowned eye for scientifically and historically important radioactive minerals. Pieces from his collection are rarely made available, and those representing the Eldorado Mine are among the most coveted.

This is a museum-grade, investment-level specimen—a classic from one of the world’s most significant uranium localities. For advanced collectors, it represents both geological importance and a tangible connection to the earliest days of the atomic era.

This specimen comes out of my personal collection.
