Uraninite is a uranium-rich mineral that is found in gray to black colors, and contains trace amounts of radioactivity due to the radium content and effects of radioactive decay. Uraninite minerals also contain lead isotopes in small amounts as well as Helium, due to alpha decay, a form of radioactive decay.

- Uraninite was the mineral that uranium-ore is mined from. The explosive mineral formations on the planet Gamma Trianguli VI were composed partly of uraninite. (TOS: "The Apple" )
- It is most commonly known as pitchblende from pitch, because of its black color, and blende, a term used by German miners to denote minerals whose density suggested metal content.
