I learned a bit about radiation when I found an old blast furnace site . These are some important factors that a person should be familiar with when rock hounding . Number one. Use caution there is a lot of pretty stuff out there and if it was put there then it was put there for a reason . Anyways I am not familiar with the measuring scale your using but if you could convert it to mil REMs an airline pilot is only allowed to take in one REM a year . That is 1000 mila RMs. And the second thing is strength of the radiation of course is important but equally important is exposure time . For example alpha radiation is the weakest of the three types of radiation , alpha ,Beta, Gamma but is considered one of the most dangerous because unlike Beta and Gamma that once you remove the object from say a room , the radiation leaves with it. But Beta actually throws off a radioactive particle that can be ingested or swallowed and could become lodged in your lungs for a long time and that's where exposure becomes the deadly factor. If you suspect that rock with those pretty green crystals on it might be radio active then keep it put somewhere safe until you find out .
That was a great deep-dive into their rock sample. We are all smarter from it. Thanks! `i don`t think i want a meteorite` oh you would if you knew what dollar value is attached to those suckers.
What if I told you I found gold in Kansas State and I know what you're going to say no geologists has ever proven that there is gold there but I've even taken it to two separate jewelers one in Nebraska and one in Lawrence Kansas and they both said yes it is gold and I know that gold can look like fool's Gold and some of its foals called but what I think it is is gold trapped inside fool's Gold what do you think
Love this!!! Keep making more videos please!!!
More to come!
I have not been on the edge of my seat like I was when you moved to the scope. Please make more videos!!!!
Informative, fun and yes even riveting. Please keep 'em coming.

We al gotta die somehow.😐
This was my favorite episode from your channel. Very informative. Loved it!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very conversational, i appreciate your enjoyment in discovering the puzzle.
Using Microstrat, I get the Pinto Gneiss 1500-1600ma for the San Bernardino Mountains. Really enjoyed this video.
Very cool. I'm happy to see the video you guys did a very good job
thanks for coming on Kareem!
@tectonic_city you're welcome, and I can't wait to come back
Good episode.
I've been finding similar rocks in western Colorado / eastern Utah.
love the discuss that a non geologist brings to the table! really fun
I have found the same in colorado and out here in southern california.
ive been waiting!

@@leechild4655 I have a friend who sells meteorites
Terrific adventure in time and squeeze Mg pink
Reminds me of the quartzite at the climbing area called The Back of the Lake at Lake Louise, Alberta.
That's radioactive dinosaur bone is crazy.
I have found that very same knees in railroad tracks .
Full of mica and garnets and quartz also
This looks very similar to the Piedmont uplifting in Alabama.
I have a piece of chalcedony that has nearly perfect yellow cubes inside it as inclusions. What are the cubes ?
My rock is gravel. Yay, it's not a very fashionable rock unless you're building a driveway.
Kareem my man what’s up?
I have an idea why don't you just call it regional metamorphosed schist.
Okay
lol don't give up the gneiss location, sorry guys no on is making money off gneiss.

Biology.
typical tight-A rock hounds. you gonna die and take those rocks with you?
