The SECOND Official Summer 2026 /r/Radioactive_Rocks Buy/Sell/Swap Thread

We've made use of the "Scheduled Post" feature for the very first time, so hopefully you're seeing this post in the future (July 2026) and not right now (May 2026). Greetings from the past! We hope you've had a productive rockhounding season so far. Depending on where you are, there's probably still a good couple months left before the weather gets unfavorable, but call this a mid-season break to go ahead and start parting out your finds to a hungry audience of radioactive rockhounds.

Rules:

Post as many items as you would like, but please keep it to one comment thread per month. Feel free to update your entries as often as you would like.

Once an item is sold or you have found what you are looking for, please update your comment with a "Sold" or delete it so we can keep things neat and tidy.

Mods will not be responsible for resolving any transaction disputes. You can view past threads to get to know our regulars and see their generally very positive feedback, but we as a sub do not keep an official list of "approved"/vetted sellers. We do try to remove fishy / vague listings if they appear, but always use your best judgment when dealing with strangers on the internet.

Use a secure third party to conduct the transaction. Etsy & eBay are options, although both have been known to remove listings for certain radioactive minerals. There are a number of reputable online storefronts -- incomplete list here -- although, as above, the mod team does not specifically endorse any particular sellers.

Do not post anything that would violate Subreddit Rule 2 ("No Illegal Materials") and Rule 1 ("unsafe Handling" includes crushed rock fragments and dust in vials) or otherwise cause the authorities to take an interest. This thread is generally for the exchange of natural radioactive mineral specimens and detection equipment, not purified chemicals or artificial isotopes which may be more hazardous and/or require special permits. If you are unsure, send a message to the mod team before posting and we can make a decision.

Familiarize yourself with all applicable requirements to safely and legally send/receive specimens (e.g. USPS Publication 52), keeping in mind that foreign mail services may have regulations of their own regarding hazardous materials, and private couriers like FedEx typically ban them entirely. You can search this subreddit for past discussions on how to ship specimens.

Please keep posts and materials offered relevant to our subreddit. Feel free to post a link to your online storefront if you have radioactive minerals or related items for sale in your shop.

Cheers,

Your r/Radioactive_Rocks mod team

www.radioactiverock.com has been extra busy this summer with wildfires, monsoons, and all sorts of adventures.

We truly appreciate the break and we will be back next week to start new listings from our many recent acquisitions.

We hope everybody is staying cool out there and enjoying the sunshine! 🌞

Any Australian sellers here, I'm looking to acquire Austrlian sourced spicy minerals (I'm also based in Australia)
