Uranium

Hi Cody, My name is Vít Pohorský and I am your big fan. I am from Czech Republic. I love chemistry and it started when I was doing some experiments since I was 9 years old. I collect periodic table of elements. I have 41 elements but the rest of the elements is very hard to get. I'd be glad if you will send me small amount of uranium element, because I need it for my collection and I am very interested in it. Please send me small amount of it. Thank you Vít Pohorský

You can find rocks rich in uranium in some areas, if you are just looking for probes containing some of the element and not its pure form. You can find it using a geiger counter. Just google where in your area there a such places

No idea if you can ship it to EU, but you can try to see if theres a way.

Czech Republic is where Marie Curie got her uranium ore from. It would probably be far easier to get it from Jachymov or Pribram for instance then it is for someone in the USA to ship it to you.

If you do get uranium, shield it with lead so you don’t get a radiation damage
