@@michelleangers342 Couldn't have put it better! A lovely word, thank you! I tell ya, i wish i could be that tiny little bug and explore this crystal in uv like an insane neon glacial planet... it's out of this world, im still stunned at it's beauty, in all aspects of light 💎🪄✨🙏

@@stevestibbons1789 ok Steve, i won't pick any more material, sorry ol' chap, i'll put it all back soon. There should be plenty for you to pick next time, so get out there and enjoy yourself, hope you find lots, but you MUST put it back afterwards ok. Thanks for your comment, i do like to hear others opinions 👍

@@UKFluorescentMineralHunter it’s not my opinion, coastal protection act 1949 , the law said so, and if you grew up on the coast you would now it. I’m not a collector either, I’ve fished of the Norfolk coast all my life and have had countless arguments with people, who think they can take what they want of the beach. And it’s normally late at night or early in the morning ,funny that they turn up when it’s quiet, don’t you think

Haha yes this one is a little big lol 🤣 If this one ain't enough to satisfy me then i don't know what is! Interesting, i have some smaller chunks which have the same fluorescence, i shall put a piece in the oven and observe.... what kind of temp do think would do it?

@@UKFluorescentMineralHunter perhaps 500F? That should excite the thermoluminescence anyway, may not be enough to destroy the hydrocarbons though. If it's an electric, the glow from the heating coils may prevent easy observation of the TL light. I'd only use a small piece and definitely wear goggles if handling, the hydrocarbons may build up enough pressure inside as they vaporize and cause it to explode! A torch to heat a piece will work, but a full face shield and heavy cotton clothes will be necessary.

Thank you!! I feel over the moon and super chuffed to be honest, not sure i'll ever find anything quite like it again, but you never know, better may come along one day and i'll be sure to post it 👍 Take care and thanks for your support 💎🙏

Thank you my dear friend, i had to carry it about the length of a football field, def far enough lol, then i had to leave it in a bush down a private road and drive back during the night to get it in the car.... but i did it and super glad i did, this thing is mental and well worth it , what a beauty 💎💎💎 Take good care 👍⛏😎

BIG UP BIG UP!! Nuff respect! Glad you enjoyed this one, wait untill you see it person, way better than the video!! ❤💛💚

Thank you my friend! I feel like a father after finding this crazy crystal, i treausure it like one of my own 👍💎⛏🙏

@@crazypony2534 Thank you dear friend! Hope you are keeping well 👍 Take good care crazypony, thanks for your comment 💎

@@Muonium1 Lovely to hear about the europium reaction to LED, i never knew that, it's super facinating, i wondered why the weardale fluorites did that, awesome Muonium1, appreciate that! Check out on eBay a uk seller called prettylittlehealingcrystals, they got some quite nice weardale stuff at the min, not mega cheap but better price thst alot i see, think they offer free international postage too. But if all else fails i shall try to find you a piece when i go there, might not be exact same quality as the vid but you never know, i may come back with better (but i doubt it), either way i'd happily send you a piece 👍 Take care my dear friend, my respects 👊🇪🇹

@@UKFluorescentMineralHunter those actually are pretty reasonable prices, thanks!

@@richardbaker2300 Thank you, glad you like it. It is a Limestone quarry, some of the best Fluorite in the UK comes from there, i will visit the area soon as i can and hopefully find something nice, although this sample you see came from deep inside the mine, the quarry may not produce such quality, but we shall see when the time comes. I have not had much success in gravel or sand quarries to be honest, usually find just shell fossils and flint, maybe the odd bit of quartz or chalcedony but its never in nice crystal form. Limestone quarries are what you are looking for, particular lead quarries seem to produce nice crystals. Check out Mindat.org to find info on local quarries in your area 👍 Take care and thanks for your comment 💎

It is Weardale indeed, Heights Quarry is an active quarry just down the road from the nutorious Rogerley Mine. I did not find this piece, im not sure i could risk hunting in the Heights Quarry as it's active, but i will investigate one day, i plan on going in the very near future to have a poke about lots of places in Weardale, it takes alot of car camping out there so will be fun, will post vids for sure 👍 The way this stuff fluoresces is insane and i can't miss it at night! I'v got some Lady Annabella Mine fluorite here that i purchased if you would like to see a quick vid on that?

@@UKFluorescentMineralHunter of course! 🤩

Thank you! I'm still in love with it 😍

I haven't actually found any amber yet, thought i would have by now, but the trouble is these days is that the wind farms out at sea seem to tame the tides a bit reducing the amount of amber washed up, i live in Norfolk which has been nutorious for finding amber, but since they put up the sea defence it appears hardly any amber is washed up here aswell, finding decent amber now seems like a thing of the past sadly, maybe why it's so expensive, but i'll always be keeping my eyes out for it because i know people do still find the odd bit now and then. The Suffolk coast can apparently be good for collecting amber in a windy rough sea, never been to Suffolk but maybe one day. Take care and enjoy the vids 👍⛏💎❤

Have search on the 'bay' for 'Long Afterglow' Willemite and grab yourself a nice piece 😉 The seller may know the polymorph with any luck. The piece you see in my video is classed as a Museum piece 👑

Yay! Thank you! I couldn't get over what i was actually experiencing there, it was such fun! Iv never had a fluorescent foot before lol, absolutly mental 🤪 but the magic wand was just epic! see you on the moon my dear friend 🌙🪄✨✨✨✨

Isn't it just facinating to see! You have seen this underground? that must have been an experience and a half! sounds amazing, iv never had the privilage of going underground as yet, im not too sure who to speak to about that but one day i really would love to go into a mine with my uv torch. Take care my friend! Thank you

BIG UP my friends!! Thanks for your kind words😎Defo a mental place! Well worth a trip over the hills to experience 😵🤩 See you soon for a good hunt!! My respects ⛏😁🔦💎✌

Cheers my friend! You should defo check it out man, collect yourself up some unusual calcite coated tree cones and twigs lol, it's just weird man lol, super interesting to have in the collection with a cool story behind them though. Would like the company bro, im always doing this on my own and i miss having good company, Kev, let's go ROCKHOUNDING very very soon.... this week or next? Anywhere! All the best man, respects! 💎⛏💎

I will ring you mate soon @@UKFluorescentMineralHunter

WOW that is amazing to hear!! You have Tufa near you! that is really cool, and it's radioactive you say? Holy moly thats MADDD!! I just checked my sample of Tufa but it is not radioative, shame as my magic wand would have been even more magic haha! But no, really im chuffed it's not radioactive lol. So if the spring & Tufa at Saratoga are high radioactive.... im wondering if this has any influence on the fluorence, like mad green fluor tufa? can you imagine that? is it possible do you think due to the uranium traces? you gotta go back there when you can and please please let me know everything lol! I'm going back to the terraces real soon and i'm gonna take a 'fluorescent' water sample because as you mentioned the water itself is fluoro, isn't it just crazy! Off camera i just sat there with my safety glasses on in UV staring deeply at it, hypnotic at it's best, i was totally amazed by all, i also want to do a proper phosphorescence on the big tufa walls there and do a little 'shorts' video if i can, i only had the 1 uv torch on me that night sadly (strapped to the camera frame). But i shall also test the water sample for phosphorescence and let you know, presumably the particles will settle at the bottom after a while, so it would be like shake 'n' fluoresce kind of thing haha! The bright blue and the white fluorescent Tufa has the most strongest phosphorescence, really powerful. I'd love to send you a water sample if you would like a UK sample if customs would allow liquids to pass? So you have....Radioative Tufa WOW!! Muonium my friend you are a legend! Big respects to you 💎

Thank you kindly crazypony 🙏If you are ever out that way it's worth a look, very interesting indeed. Take good care dear friend 😎⛏🔦💎

Nice one! Thanks!! It's well worth a visit just to see those strange plants!! Glad you enjoyed the vid! BIG UP ⛏🔦💎🤩

Awesome!! Thank you kindly Emma! Im super chuffed you love my vids!! I will happily and healthily help out with your addiction as much as i can haha! It is MEGA addictive i must say 😆⛏💎😁 I got plenty more vids to follow throughout the year and hopefully years ahead too all being well 👍 If there is anywhere in Derbs you would like to see in a fluorescent vid just let me know and i'll check it out and post a vid 😎 Take good care!! ⛏⛏⛏💎💎💎✌

Thank you @crazypony2534, it sure was a fun and a very unusual night at Mappleton! Cannot wait to go back in summer. Thanks for subscribing! Im now enjoying your metal detect at Mappleton! I'v subbed to you too. Take good care my friend ⛏💎👍

my pleasure @@UKFluorescentMineralHunter

Access is easy really, although you cannot just walk straight in but you can climb the metal gate or walk further down to the east and hop over a long tatty barbed fence which is quite low (4ft), you still got to get your leg up at some point to get in. I went in at the SW side of the quarry, it may be easier on the east side but i didn't go that far to see, but i think theres a smaller gate if i remember correctly from other vid on youtube, it will bring you into the quarry from the direction @4:27 Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed. Derbyshire is so beautiful, even better when you collect crystals to bring home, the whole place is just amazing!! Take care my friend, hope you have a great time if you go there!! ⛏⛏⛏💎💎💎

@@UKFluorescentMineralHunter oooh interesting! Thanks for the info, will have to add it to my list it's a great area around there, plenty of locations nearby.. will be back to derbyshire soon so you never know we might bump into you on the hunt for rocks one of these days! ✌ 💎

@@bliz2251 You're very welcome 👍 I do hope to bump into you one day, i'v never seen anybody else in a quarry so far but if you see a dude with dreadlocks floating about that will be me 😎 Let me know when you are back in Derbyshire and maybe we could go collect some awesome crystals one day if your interested in doing a crystal hunt? 👍 ⛏💎✌

@@UKFluorescentMineralHunter Oh I'm always interested in a crystal hunt! That'd be fab I'll take you up on that, have you got a public email address/ social media to contact?

@@bliz2251 Holy moly forgive me for not responding sooner!!.... but sure, you can contact me on [email protected]. Im not on any social media at the min, so the best way for now is mail or phone. Hope to hear from you soon and we can arrange something, nice one! Look forward to a good crystal hunt 💎👍⛏

Thank you so much Ethan!! Really really appreciate that. It is the 1st complete one i have ever found, a treasure for sure. Take care and thanks for enjoying vid!! 👍⛏💎🙏🍥

Many thanks Steve! Welcome aboard, really appreciate the support 👍 There are so many fluorescent variations and colours to the Dragon Eggs that it keeps me hooked on them! I find them totally amazing! Thanks for your kind words bro! Enjoy the cool vibez and scenery 😉 Big Respect to you! Take good care my friend 🙏💎

Thank you! Greetings to you on the awesome East Coast of Canada! Great to hear from you, if you enjoyed the vid then you sure would enjoy the experience with a uv torch when you're out there, the beach and quarries will be a whole new experience! Go for it and have a wonderful time 😉 Canada should turn out some very very amazing stuff, be on the lookout somewhere in Quebec for the mad fluorescent yellow Scapolite Wernerite, one of my favorite fluorescent minerals 💎 But don't forget good uv protective safety glasses though for the hours of hunting, if you need any help on which torch\glasses to use etc let me know and I'll help you get there 👍 2024 is going to be a good year, stay tuned for more fluorescent adventures in the future ⛏️ Happy new year and Happy Hunting ⛏️⛏️⛏️

Thank you my friend, i have been to Fall Hill Quarry and had a lovely time, didn't fluorescent hunt it though, but it is on the list, it's tough to find things in there as the juicy vein is under dangerous waters now, but if you dig around a bit you may strike it lucky like i did once, i found a 35'ish kg suspicious rock that i cracked open, one half had a beautiful sheet of clear 1cm cubed fluorite and on the other half was a stunning sheet of quartz 5mm clear points, a bit like the style of dogtooth calcite, but this stuff scratched glass. I've been back a few times since but had no such luck, they were smelting in there by the looks of it, hope they left some crystal behind! I checked out Gregory mine also, a beautiful place to visit, however the spoil heaps have been depleted so much i really didn't find anything great up there, was all very very worn and weathered, never got to see the entrance to the mine if there is one, but it's a nice place to mooch about for a bit. Check out Moss Rake when you can, there are three sections to it, i tried the 1st section but is used heavily by bikes, the second one is fun, there is an old mine entrance in there but is blocked off a little way in, tons of Barite there, it shall be my next vid hopefully, when the weather has calmed down a little. Ladywash Mine was once good, but it is difficult to obtain awesome specimens now, again dig dig dig and hope for the best ⛏👍💎 Take care my friend, thanks for your comment!!

Respects to you Kev! Happy new year my friend! I would enjoy going to Port Mulgrave with you, we shall have to do it in 2024!! Rock on my brother! Take Care!! ⛏⛏⛏⛏⛏

Super late reply! Oh my gosh so sorry!! Super glad you really enjoyed this vid, bless ya, i wouldn't let you slip and slide ungracefully down the cliff lol, that wouldn't be fair if you had all the fun first, i'd have to slip 'n' slip first and then let you know if it's safe for you to have a go 😁😁 I loved exploring those cottages, defo gonna stay there when the weather warms up, im dreaming of sleeping in that boat, and when i do stay there over night i shall make a UV night vid of Port Mulgrave, that is if i survive the creepyness, can you imagin what it's like at night? 👻🦀 I tell ya, when i sat on that 'couch with a view' i didn't wanna leave, i would live there if there was a local shop! What a place, can't wait to go back!! Thanks for your kind words regarding the polished ammonites, they were mostly the ammo's i collected from the cottages, so many broken ammo's just laying around the place, amazing, gonna name that place 'Ammonite Village' 🥰 The 'wobbly' footage i was concerned about didn't come out tooo bad in the end, it was just the cottages footage was a little wobbly thank goodness it wasn't the whole lot. I think this vid is one of my best too, and that polished fossil you love is just mind blowing, my mum and dad can't get over how nice it is either. To know others appreciate it the same way as me brings me such joy 😀I had an awesome week thanks yous, it was my birthday and i went mineral hunting in my fav place Milltown Quarry, super cool! Got some nice stuff for my birthday yay 🤩 You take super awesome good care and have yourself a fantastically awesome week ahead!! Your comment really cheered me up all week! Thank you! Keep on ROCKIN' IT ⛏⛏⛏⛏⛏💎💎💎💎

@UKFluorescentMineralHunter yeah the video was put together really well, But wait it was your birthday!?!?😲 Happy Birthday 🎂🎉 It was my birthday to (on the 1st) when was yourse ?

@@AussieRockhoundingandAdventure Happy Birthday too!!! 🎈🎉🎂 Wow how cool 😎😄 i was on the 9th... this means.... we are.... the Septarian Sagittarian Rastafarians!! we ROCK (hound) ⛏⛏⛏⛏⛏⛏ Hope you had a great birthday!! 💎 🙏

Ahh cool ccol! Glad you enjoyed that, it sure was an awesome time! I wanna sleep in that boat, then i can fluorescent hunt Port Mulgrave! After winter it shall be done, watch this space...... Jah Bless ❤💛💚

Thank you! It's great fun polishing this, suddenly loads of beautifiul details magically appeared! Never polished Agate before, this is the first Agate i'v ever dealt with, Amazing stones 💎😵

Thank you so much 😉 I'v got a new phone and thought i would experiment with some shorts, i didn't realise i can change the length of of vids to 60 seconds so i'll be doing 60 second shorts soon. The minerals are mostly Fluorites and Calcites, some Marcassite, some Quartz, and a little bit of Galena in this display cabinet. I bought 2 cabinets really cheap, sprayed them black and installed some nice Cob light strips, just need to make some UV protective doors (polycarbonate) and fit them with UV lights 💎. That is the Crystal cabinet you see there, the other cabinet is my Fossil and Dragon Egg cabinet, i'll show you that soon when i'v organized it 👍But the truth is, my whole room is full of cool rocks! Everywhere haha! Way way too many mannn lol 😁😮 Such is the way of Rockhounding ⛏💎😍 Big hugs to you guys, take good care now 🙏

Thank you 😊They blow my mind everytime that UV torch goes on, don't think i will ever get bord of them! Respects from the UK! One Love ❤💛💚

Thank you! Super happy you enjoyed the vid! Ammonites are beautiful ain't they, i feel great when i find and see them, but a little sad too when i think about what they went through to become extinct, i kind of get a humble haunting prehistoric feeling from them, i actually feel quite sorry for them, but i'll never get over how we can find and see and cherish these baffling tales of ancient history in a STONE!! But GOLD coloured Ammonites are just the most mind blowing thing!!🙏 Hopefully soon i shall be posting a video of my 80 Ammonite find in North Yorkshire, stay tuned for that 👍 Thanks for your comment!! 💎🙏⛏👍 That awesome tune is by 'STRLGHT - Made For You' on Epidenic Sounds: www.epidemicsound.com/track/iVcMNE0hge/ or KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnucaoBuoraqmrM ENJOY!!!! 👌👌👌

@@UKFluorescentMineralHunter yeah I totally agree. For me it's being able to hold something in your hand that's so old and lived so long ago. Of course there are older things but there's just something about ammonites. Finding them is a great buzz, and when you do it's knowing you're the first person to ever hold it. I'll give your channel a sub on my other channel that's fossil and mineral related 👍🏻

@@Cactimania Thank you so much dear friend! There really is something powerful about ammonites indeed. Good luck with your finds and enjoy your crystals to the MAX 💎💎💎💎 Thanks again! One Love 🙏
