38,222CPM

[NiagaraNet@AOL.COM]

Hey folks:



Just a quick question; What type of rock would exhibit 38,222CPM?

Could this be a rock with a vein of ore such as Uranium (any variety)?

Could this rock be from Western New York State?

Would this "rock" be considered radioactively "hot" and would it present a 

danger say if handled and then went to lunch without washing ones hands?

How would I properly dispose of this specimen?



Thanks for your opinions/expertise.
