Black Light Reveals Something INCREDIBLE in These Stones! Michigan Yooperlite Hunting

YOOPERLITES AT LAST! It's been two years since I've been able to do this, and it was a thrill to come and do it again. Hunting for these stones is absolutely one of my favorite things to search for. Here's more info on the Yooperlites...
"Recently discovered by Erik Rintamaki, Yooperlite rocks are actually Syenite rocks that are rich in fluorescent Sodalite
In 2017, Erik went out on a beach in Lake Superior with a UV light and discovered dozens of these glowing rocks. To the naked eye, they look like gray rocks, but under the UV light, the mineral composite makes the rocks glow.
From humble beginnings, Yooperlites® are now an internet and news phenomenon and have been featured on TV & news sites across the globe." - Yooperlites.com"

I absolutely love how WildMoms smile gets bigger with every video she's in. Please hug mom for all of us!!

[@mellomelo119]

Oh ya, I love that name, WILDMOM !

[@mellomelo119]

Kyle, your mom looks to be having a good time just spending time with you. I'll bet she's a blast where ever she goes. You are extreemly lucky to have both of your parents. They both seem like great people. No wonder you are who you are. Not many people have parents that go on adventures with them. Get in all the time with them that you can. They're not given to us forever.

[@aliciamarie1440]

Epidote and Feldspar together make Unakite. That's what those green and pink beauties you were picking up in the beginning are. One of my favorites to find too! Ecspecially when they are so bright alien 👽 green!

[@carriehanifen3434]

Tell your Mom that’s some cool nail polish, she raised a great son. Love ya 💗😀👍

[@kimberlyaustin6677]

OOOHHHHH there we go! The black shadows and dark crevasses between rocks have eight legs and move quickly! BlekkyBlekkyBlekky! Once I was in Mackinaw City waiting for the ferry and I thought I would go wait by the water and look at the pretty rocks. Now...no one else was, which should have been my 1st clue. All the "black" rocks and "shadows" between rocks MOVED! I broke the record for flying backward that day.

[@megankimber8772]

So much fun watching you with your mom. She’s so pretty! I’m glad you had such special times together.

[@darlameyer5936]

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Love seeing you with your mom again too. Thanks for taking me along.

[@mrsgrammy3552]

Those yooperlites are almost as pretty as your Mom. I'm so glad you took her on this adventure with you. I've never seen anything like those rocks before. Great video! Thank you!

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Wow!!! Gorgeous glowing sodalite! They look like the lava spilling out of that Icelandic volcano 🌋! Your mom is a lovely lady, I think it’s so cool that you can go rock hounding together, special times! Fun video, thanks wildkyle!😃👍

[@dennisblankenship1310]

Just as an FYI, Tahquamenon is a state, not national park. Although if you'd followed the lakeshore a little further, west of Grand Marais, you'd have fallen in love with the country's first national lakeshore (part of the national park system), Pictured Rocks.There's a lot of unique geology on the Lake Superior shore of Michigan's upper peninsula. Some of the Jacobsville sandstone was used in the construction of some of the first buildings at Northern Michigan University.

[@lfurches]

I visited Grand Rapids several years ago right next to the lake and I it was before I knew about UV flashlights. I wonder if some of the rock I collected while there are UV sensitive ones? I hope so. Do you know when they were discovered? Your mom should be proud. You are an awesome young man and it is a delight to see your videos. Cheers from North Carolina,

[@wingbeateroutdoors9556]

I believe they were discovered in 2017. It is possible you may have some, I found some in the southwest corner of the lower peninsula (south haven, mi)

[@barbymccain2436]

Great time, great memories and great nails 💅🏻 😁 I hope you plan on selling some of those dragon eggs, I NEEEED TWO! Ugly creepanoid spider can stay there 👍🏻 .... ick. So glad you’re spending time with your mom 🥰❤️ Much love to you both

[@ginagott7190]

Next time up are up there you should check out the mineral museum at Michigan Tech. They have a whole room of Fluorescent minerals!

[@janetpullen5210]

Mosquitoes like cool weather also. The rocks r beautiful with all the glow…patterns r so neat

[@aprilp.4530]

Is no one going to comment about the face in the rock while the UV light is on the spider?! Pretty creepy looking! Great video, as always!

[@thomaslaux9462]

Look like Frankenstein

[@justjulee9135]

The one you found at 7:36 was amazing! So bright and beautiful! I need to get to Michigan.

[@angef9687]

Kyle you have a love for the unakite! You found some beautiful specimens! You'll have to visit Canada next year. In Bancroft, Ontario we have a sodalite mine and an aptly named rock farm called the Princess Sodalite Mine where members of the public can search for specimens in a safe (and child friendly) environment! Thanks for another great video! It's so great seeing you enjoying yourself and spending with your beautiful Mom!

[@normawinton6832]

Your mommas still young and a lovely lady! Cool rocks buddy!

[@gingermackeen5741]

Yooperlites are the bomb! Thanks, Kyle. So glad you're spending time with mom!😊

[@JaneEllenMusic]

Brilliant! I think your mum is starting to enjoy this, she seems a lot more comfortable and it's so much fun to see her in your wild and crazy Kyle life. I can't imagine even seeing a rock that responds to UV light, let alone finding one. Hope you don't forget to come back to Florida 😀

[@cassyfofana7805]

Love seeing u spend time with ur Mother most Beautiful Catch of the day.......😇

[@buttons3232]

I think the skeeters are into that sweet, warm Florida blood. It’s thinner and goes down smooth, lol!❣️ Hi Kyle’s mom, I like your twisted stick. 😁

[@AngieDoesStuff]

FINALLY! It took the next freakin' day, but I managed to watch. I'm jealous but maybe someday I can find my own. Glad you were able to find such a good amount!

[@onefinepearl]

Your excitement is awesome! I’m like that when I find Leland blues! I’ve tried looking for yooperlites in muskallonge state park but never found any! Happy hunting! ☺️✋🏻

[@laurenoreilly4140]

Wow! The sunset was as gorgeous as the Yooperlites! I noticed a few specks of blue on a couple of the Yooperlites when the UV light was on them. Is there a different mineral causing the blue? I watched the video before going to bed. I dislike spiders and hope I don’t dream about them!😂

[@juulc.aramel4232]

I feel ya with them beautiful rocks when you were just waiting for the sun to go down. Literally EVERY rock is cool!

[@ashclark9614]

Holy moly, I just learnt the name yooperlite is trademarked, I didn't think that could happen over a mineral.

[@neliac1314]

I love rocks. I would be bringing all of them home.

[@robbybobby6483]

Bug spray is like putting on barbecue sauce. Yooperlite, My favorite is the galaxy ones. Some look like lava, the way it glows. Mom's awesome, great walking stick. Always good to hunt yooperlite with the ones you love.

[@debbiepeck8834]

I love going along on your adventures and am so happy to see your Mom out with you! Keep on educating and entertaining and sharing the world with us!

[@ineedanewname9595944]

Cool!! Nice that wild mama went with you!!💜💜

[@ColleenM61]

Mom looks too young! :) Great finds, love how these shine.

[@tomiyu2297]

6:37 the rock to the left of the spider has a FACE IN IT!!!!

[@thomaslaux9462]

Looks like Frankenstein

[@beckieg8479]

I love the one that glowed purple and orange💜💜some beautiful finds Kyle, keep up the good work 😊👍❤️

[@annedavis6090]

My niece lives in Kokomo, they love Michigan..always up there🔆

[@clintonmorris8222]

Yooperlite = Sodalite. This is the actual fluorescening mineral that you seeing as Yellow under the UV. Calcite as you know is green.

[@osmadchlo]

I don't get tired of seeing them either. My favs are the ones that look like galaxies.

[@angelrays7]

The mapping on some of the stones remind me of city lights at night from the air. Like flying over Vegas or Phoenix. Or even hot coals ambers glistening.

[@johnbaenen5386]

Thank you for the walkabout.

[@carlwiedenhoeft2427]

50 degrees is t-shirt weather. Our mosquitos wake up when it's 33f

[@markattardo]

Wow you found some fantastic yooperlites!! BTW, that's a cool twisted walking stick too.

[@Canned_Beef]

I really want to do this. And now that you’re back, we can set up that warehouse visit.

[@lorihanlon7482]

Gotta add Michigan to my travel bucket list! I 💛🪨! I really dislike mosquitos🦟! Thanks for yet another adventure!

[@krisoswald1157]

Headed up there soon good to see the UVBeast in action i bought the same model, thanks for sharing

[@lilalightandlove421]

Love your enthusiasm Kyle! It’s contagious! I can hardly wait till my birthday next May 2022 to go hunting for Yooperlites on the Michigan shores!

[@tonijordan6543]

OMG! Did you not see the Frankenstein face when you were filming that spider?

[@GermanGemcutter]

Amazing finds👍 6:12 wow ❤ super cool specimen

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Ok, I've got to get me one of those UV lights and head to Lake Superior! Those yooperlites are so cool!!! 😊

[@marthafenimore4279]

So happy to see your parents coming along with you on these adventures. Love the videos.

[@KateandEvatoys]

This is incredible!!! Thank you for sharing! This is now on my traveling bucket list

[@kimberlyaustin6677]

THANK YOU! - for picking up after other people and helping to keep our pretty beaches clean!😁✌👍👍👍

[@RagnarRocks]

The ones with the lines are crazy cool! Yeah, 50 degrees is definitely not too cold for mosquitos, if it's 32 or higher here, game on for those horrible blood suckers!

[@robertgilchrist5415]

One of your finest. You kindled a curiosity in me to find out more about these rocks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge .

[@patifagan6774]

Like this new hobby

[@JimHerbertOutdoors]

Pretty sure I recognize that view! Filmed up there and arkansas for crystals over 2 months ago and still havent edited either one I needa get my ass in gear 🙈. Offer still stands lf you pass thru IL anytime for private property mazon creek fossils. Went out yesterday found some concreations and A LOT of mosquitos. Have a good ✌ safe travels.

[@rockreader4298]

New Wild Kyle series .... Hooked on Yooperlites. : ) Michigan Rocks ROCKS! Your Mom is a Beauty. Kyle, I can see where you get your Smiling Eyes that light up the screen. Also let's not forget your Famous Locks. And the polish is posh. An Outstanding Sunset! Your first yooper is nearly shaped like a heart. : ) The one with the lines going through it looked like a Sasquatch teepee structure burned down. Then there's that print. Who doesn't Love a glowing Spider? Love the Yooper with the blue in it. Can't wait to see some of them cut. So Awesome! The baby ones would make excellent jewelry. Yes? Those are some real story-tellin' rocks.

[@mirkatu3249]

Whoopers for Yoopers! Fun video!

[@dawnthemetaldetective3083]

Beautiful sunset!

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

Yay, so glad you made it to the glow stones area. Love the new UV light. Worked like a charm. You found some really great yooperlites. I ordered one off the internet a year ago just so I could have one since I can't get to Lake Superior. They look like embers from a charcoal grill. Great video. I collect rocks and gems as well. I have tons of them in my collection. Loved it.

[@stephaniewolfe2665]

Definitely on my list of places to go! It looks incredible there!

[@andres_bernardo]

Didn't even know about these glowing rocks. Real cool stuff!

[@WILDKYLE]

What's up my duuuude!

[@neenagalante1211]

You're mom is so beautiful! She looks too young to be your mom! You obviously get most of your good looks from her! You guys scored with those yooperlites! That spider looked so cool but scary as hell! Lol! Thanks for sharing! Liked and shared!🙂😊👍

[@Shakeyhands05]

Yeah in Michigan for some reason bug love the water at night.

[@chrisbgifford7387]

It looks like some kind of granite with mica -like flecks. The mica seems to be what it is that glows. It is so cool!

[@nancymcshane3501]

Syenite rich with fluorescent sodolite

[@valeriewhitmore8497]

Your mom is beautiful. She is great. I hope all is well..keep updating please

Awesome and exciting to find these,also great channel, stay safe.👍♥️

[@elinkeykramme6511]

Just Want to make a Cave and decorate with those stones, so relaxing and beautiful .. 🙌

[@RockandRoadRockhounding]

Looks like you guys had a lot of great finds! Michigan has some of the best spots out there.

[@wyomingadventures]

I love yooperlites! I think the yellow one is something else but I don't remember. I took my uv light and shined it accidentally on my budgies. Yep, their feathers lit up by their heads. Those lights are cool! The one at 13:22 what a rock.

[@donnalantz7981]

Awesome yooperlights man. And as I put it " welcome to Northern Michigan " well in this case to the "UP" where anything can happen. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@isaaclesh5580]

Early!!!! I’m a huge fan

[@kittylevee4662]

Ooooo‼️😎 Bright juicy yellow is my favorite color‼️😍 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

[@anniemenard5578]

When I was young, I called the green rocks: Green frog (my favorite) ❤️🐸

[@carltonphelps8088]

Some of the rocks look like burning coals when then UV light hits them. The sunset was beautiful. The Yoopers are an interesting group.

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* The conglomerate rock with red inclusions is sedimentary compressed into stone & called Pudding Stone.. ~

[@tyborstyle]

So wonderful! Which nm is your UV Beast?

I have reloaded this video about 10 times but I can't get it to load. Everything is working as normal, except for this one! Guess I'll try my phone...

[@christinewalley6829]

Another awesome video. I enjoy seeing you enjoying time with your mom. ❤️ Have you learned the different patterns yet?

[@jeffreykeffer4352]

Man I want to hunt yooperlites so bad

[@MrModernKetchup]

cool vid, would like to know what kinda light that you guys use. been having fun trying to find some in the thumb of michigan. got a couple tiny ones! and your mom looks super cool, my mom and i love to go out and do this kinda stuff too! mostly seaglass though

[@aaabeverages7152]

Looks like you have discovered fission tracks from a long ago solar nova. It appears in certain glass like debris thrown off the suns shell in a nova.

[@micah06v8]

On most of these, I notice some bright blue flecks when you have the UV light turned on them; but I haven't heard you mention them. Are they only showing up on the camera?

[@nk4060]

2:25 that green Im pretty positive is epidote

[@finbarscanlonwolf]

It would be cool to slice them set in resin & make a UV lamp

[@leighanncronin6905]

Wouldn't it be cool to line your driveway or walkway with Yooperlite rocks, and have UV lites shining on them!

[@lynnscott8286]

Looks like you’re holding hot lava

[@Lake_Superior_Agates]

The pink and green rocks you found are unakite. Green epidote, pink feldspar. Granite metamorphed to unakite. Those rocks you found glowing are actually Sodalite. Syenite rocks rich in fluorescent Sodalite. If we are trying to educate other rock enthusiasts🙂 I prefer to know the actual names. Besides, they are found in many other areas and surrounding states, not just the yoop/UP, so I find it kinda silly to call them that.

[@WILDKYLE]

Yes! I'm pretty sure I included that in my intro. At least the sodalite part. Not sure if I mentioned syenite 😋

[@Tammie-Burns1961]

All you need now is a big Aquarium with a uv-light over it so they can shine bright in your home at night. Those are perry cool.

[@wyomingadventures]

I was going to do that in my aquarium until I found that light isn't good for fish.

[@Tammie-Burns1961]

@@wyomingadventures he doesn't have to put fish in it just the rock and some black sand to make it look like it from out of space.
