Red Marble
why is red marble radioactive?

A building inspector told me that some marble counter tops (specifically red) are occasionally radioactive, which types and why?

Uranium oxide, when heated in oxygen, turns orangy-red. It is probably this compound that gives red marble its color and its radioactivity.
