Radium is found naturally. It 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 can also be naturally mined from radium compounds. Its compound color's are rich red or crimson color with a shade of purple and give a characteristic spectrum. Due to its geologically short half life and intense radioactivity, radium compounds are quite rare, occurring almost exclusively in uranium ores.

Is copper found naturally or synthetically made?
copper is a naturally occuring element
Is fullerene made synthetically?
Yes, it is.
Is helium natural or synthetic?
natural, but can me made synthetically by nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes.
Was vanillin found in nature or was it man made?
Vanillin can be found in nature. It is a naturally occurring organic compound that is found in the seeds of vanilla orchids. However, it can also be produced synthetically through chemical processes, which is how it is most commonly manufactured for commercial use.
What type of experiments did Marie curie conduct?
she made a new element. the element was radium. radium is used in matirials such as lipstick!!!!!!!! She found the isolation of poloniam and radium and used radium for x-rays which helped in a war.
