Radium is a decay product of uranium and is therefore found in all uranium-bearing ores. (One metric ton of pitchblende yields 0.0001 grams of radium). Radium was originally acquired from pitchblende ore from Joachimsthal, Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. Carnotite sands in Colorado provide some of the element, but richer ores are found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes area of Canada, and can also be extracted from uranium processing waste. Large radium-containing uranium deposits are located in Canada (Ontario), the United States (New Mexico, Utah, and Virginia), Australia, and in other places.
Radium exist in very small concentrations in uranium and thorium ores.
Radium is found only in traces in uranium ores.
The Curies originally discovered it in uranium ore in small trace amounts.
Radium exist in very low concentrations in uranium ores.
Radium exist in very low concentrations in uranium ores.

Radium is a natural chemical element, discovered in 1898, radioactive, alkaline earths group, metal, solid, rare in the nature.
Radioactive yes, synthetic no. Radium is found in nature in very small trace amounts usually in uranium ore deposits.
