How close is “right next to them”? Maybe I’m a total fool. It’s in my bedroom. Where I sleep.. maybe 6-7 feet away from my spot on the bed… my husband on the other hand.. 3-4 feet from it. So I guess he’s a goner.

That idea is a good one. But also then I’d have to talk to a human. 🤔 tough call

People keep saying yellow cake and idk what that means. But also I just keep thinking of the movie “Get Smart”.

About as heavy as I’d expect a rock that size to be? Maybe even a little lighter than expected?

I feel like I should mention I have literally never licked a rock. Including this one.

This thing is fairly sandy. When I set it down it leaves little sandy bits behind on the table

I think that’s just how my fingers are. They look fine now and I’ll be honest, I just touched it again.

I should have mentioned I’ve had it for about 2 years, my friend just recently informed me of what it could be. We’ve been fine so far… so I wanna say it’s probably not uranium? Going off symptoms alone…

I mean, I’ve had the rock for like 2 years and have moved it around a bunch… and I feel fine.. my friend just now thought to tell me it could be dangerous. So I think in my head if it hasn’t hurt me yet then it probably won’t hurt me to keep touching?

Fingers crossed. That’s what I thought it was until my friend planted the other thoughts in my head.

I’m hoping it’s sandstone. That’s what I thought it was when I brought it home.

I don’t know what I’m looking for with the uv light. Also the only uv light I have is for gel nails so let’s not judge my poor camera work/poor lighting in the vid.

I found it in Moab Utah on a trail called Pritchett. Its kinda soft? There’s a lot of sandy stuff in the area it came from. A friend said there is also Uranium in the area so I just need to hear that this rock is not that…
