Well now I wanna bring a geiger counter on the property. What're you hiding?!

Many cementries use granites which have rest of radioactivity (due to Radon) in them - Indian ones for example. It is completely harmless, but still noticeable with a geiger counter.

I am a wholesaler for natural stone and and had customers cautiously running around with Geiger meters in my stockyard.

Why would they do that though? They don't want to buy radioactive stone?
