Alongside an excuse-me-what?

They gotta be messing with us, a quick search says it's some sort of "5G/EMF protection" thing. That's the most ironic scam I've ever seen. Protect yourself from harmless non ionizing radiation by wearing harmful ionizing radiation. Thorium is weak, but damn that's funny.

radioactive necklace… to protect from 5g or something dumb

Some of them use bismuth, which is as weakly radioactive as it gets, but why? It's still a heavy metal and might be poisonous if parts of it shed off.

bismuth is not toxic in reasonable amounts. One serving of Pepto Bismol has half a gram of it

people conflate ionizing radiation with radio waves and then sell garbage to people that don’t understand it so they can make money.

Exactly. "Bio energy".

I bought it for a friend. And it was labeled as "bio energy" on AliExpress.

Don't worry, I sold it off. And we both knew it was loaded with Thorium. Easiest $5 made.
