United Nuclear should be commended for the service they are providing to the element collecting hobby! (Plus they should be commended for sending me a free sample.) It's perfectly legal to own (provided you don't go over the 15 pound limit for individual ownership of "un-enriched source material" for educational, scientific, or industrial use), but there just aren't many companies interested in the hassle of processing and selling small amounts. They have recently acquired a supply of depleted uranium metal, which they are offering in chunks for a pretty good price, considering that you basically can't buy it anywhere else (that I know of) in small quantities. United Nuclear has long been one of my favorite sources of useful things: For example they supplied the magnesium powder for my Popular Science article about old-time flash photography. This is a remarkable and long-awaited object: A sample of real depleted uranium metal that you can actually buy for a reasonable price from a respectable supplier.
