Thorium for sale

EDIT: The offer has ended for now

Hey everyone, I have a friend who got some things from a retired chemist but doesn't want to keep some small pieces of Thorium. I can't have them because we can't mail thorium from US to Canada but if there's someone in the continental US on the forum who is interested in a sample for an element or other collection, please send me a PM for more info.

What's wrong with mailing thorium? The radioactivity is very low.
It not like natural mineral of uranium which contains U235 and accumulated Ra226, Po210.
