What a beautiful specimen! I wish I could aquire Torbernite/Autunite as beautiful and as large as your collection. I have a modest collection but nothing like yours. Your a very lucky man.

Is it safe to keep this in an enclosed space? Would it give off radon gas?

I live on a mountain, so my basement has high natural radon. I have a radon mitigation system down there. Any radioactive specimens I keep inside are all encased to prevent dust.
