 BBC - h2g2 - Helium
By dissolving the stone (in strong acids), by pulverizing it or by heating it up to 1000°C it is possible to release the occluded helium.
The problem is normally to find suitable quantities of radioactive minerals such as cleveite (uranium dioxide), monazite (a mixture of cerium phosphate and thorium silicate) or thorianite (thorium dioxide).
One kilogramme of cleveite usually yields 7-8 litres of pure helium (monazite gives 1-2 litres, thorianite 8-10 litres).

At the August 1894 meeting of the British Association they announced the discovery of argon.
While seeking sources of argon in minerals, Ramsay discovered helium in the U-bearing mineral cleveite in 1895 - during one of the first ever in vacuo step-heating experiments.
Guided by theoretical considerations founded on Mendeleev's periodic system he methodically sought the missing links in the new group of elements and isolated neon, krypton, and xenon from air in 1898.

It is the centenary of Ramsay's discovery, not Lockyer's that we are celebrating this year.
In March 1895, while examining the spectrum of gases given off by a uranium mineral called cleveite, Ramsay spotted a mysterious yellow line.
Lacking a good spectroscope, he sent gas samples to both Lockyer and to William Crookes, a physicist famous for experimenting on cathode rays and being an advocate of telepathy.

Lots of folks collect geological specimens containing uranium (I even have couple of uranium ore-bearing rocks on display in my hallway at home) and so long as you do not have large numbers of samples, or samples quite rich in uranium, they should pose no problem but need to be handled with care.
