Autunite is a mineral containing Uranium and is therefore radioactive.
Most radioactive materials in mineral collections are Uranium minerals. The Uranyl ion produces minerals with characteristically yellow/green, acicular, crystals that can be very attractive.
uranium is probably the source for radioactive isotopes derived from nuclear reactors
All uranium compounds are radioactive to some degree.
If you have a collection of minerals you can store a radioactive mineral in a glass bottle.The alpha and beta radiations are retained by glass; the gamma rays from uranium having a low energy are also largely blocked .

Abernathyite, a radioactive mineral, is a rare secondary mineral that can coat fractures in bleached asphaltic sandstone containing a Colorado Plateau-type uranium deposit.
the uranium is a radioactive mineral that is used as a nuclear fuel to produce electric energy

Yes, uranium is a radioactive element.
Any of a variety of elements might do for this, including thorium and uranium, but even potassium has an important radioactive isotope in it.
Martin Heinrich Klaproth discovered a new mineral containing uranium in 1789. Eugen Peligot isolated uranium as a pure metal in 1841.
Yes, uranium is a radioactive metal.
