Radon salt
You can buy radon salt pretty cheap :-) that is what you'll find in the clock dials.. Which is what makes the europium phosphor :-)
Unitednuclear.com also has some nice radiation sources :-)
***in my new circuit 11.. The encapsulator is enclosed in a plastic globe.. So the encapsulator goes up the center of a "light bulb" structure.. It's actually a round holiday coke bottle.. Have noticed an extreme increase in electrical potential :-) Will post photos.. Have noticed after sparking the gap it exhibits a reverse bias of the capacitors of about a 1/3 the original charge.. Before climbing back to the positive correct polarity of the caps :-) normally a capacitor retains a forward bias and because of dielectric absorption retains correct polarity at a 'self charging' percentage of the original voltage.. Am experimenting with this further.

That lead me to believe that we were looking to balance inductance with capacitance trying to hit a high resonant frequency instead of "as much inductance as it will hold" (which would have been my first thought had there not been a misleading picture).

The frequencies are going to be VERY helpful in getting this working, one of my first bottles was not far off that. I'll order the remaining parts today and hopefully have this working by the end of the week.
