Crystallized uraninite from the area is a staple of any serious Canadian mineral collection, and this piece shows the dense, submetallic to pitchy luster the species is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Bancroft region was the centre of Canada’s uranium boom in the 1950s, when prospectors and small mining companies opened dozens of workings across the district. Most were short-lived and are long closed, which makes specimens with documented provenance from a named property like the Tripp worth having.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA good fit for a Canadian uranium suite, a pegmatite-focused collection, or a systematic set of uranium minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. specimen size: \u003c\/strong\u003e20mm x 11mm x 14mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. specimen weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. specimen activity on an SE International Ranger EXP:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62000 CPM\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rad Man Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54729143484700,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/5524\/1500\/files\/PA180251.jpg?v=1792332404","url":"https:\/\/radmanminerals.com\/products\/uraninite-crystals-tripp-nu-age-mine-near-bancroft-ontario","provider":"Rad Man Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
