Wonder what it would look like if polished?

[@derricksoilriggersllc587]

wow are these what they used in temple of doom movie when the holy indians rocks lite up and burned the bad mans hands and he fell to the crocks

[@13mjunky]

@@donaldpowers5557 gives me chills thinking about it! Keeping in mind we can't see the details or depths of crystal formation. oooooooooooh he should do a video just for that xD

Before I die, I wish for the chance to go treasure hunting with someone as crazy about "rocks" as I am and I'm thinking that would be you! What complete and total fun you must have. Just like myself, I think rocks of all and any kind make your heart beat faster and flutter in your chest on each discovery. That precious 4 legged baby was having the time of it's life and wanted to inspect everything you picked up. Thank you so much for all of your videos. They are the highlight of my day.

I love rocks... always have since I was a kid. I was telling someone recently that I wish I had knowledgeable rockhound friends who do this stuff so I can learn and have fun.

Oh I am so going there! This is incredible! The berries were high bush blueberries and so yummy! Just be careful as bears and other critters like them too. Whaaaaaaatttttt......from 🇨🇦

Huckleberries is what my grandpa told me. I make a lot of pies with them so good! Way better than a blueberry

[@beverlybontrager66]

Thank you for introducing me to Yooperlite. It's my first time seeing it. Wow!!! Just...Wow!!!. Or as you would say, "Whaaat!!!" Those are so cool and intriguing to me.

[@mctron22rd]

Those rocks are so perfect and round, they would look so awesome in someones walkway to their house with a uv porch light and those single installable uv solar lights so you would have the coolest entrance to your front door in the neighborhood! Wow just coolest thing I have seen in such a long time

[@geemama420]

Omg matrix is So Stinking Cute and funny 😄 I’m in love with these Yooperlights it’s like a candy store for rock lovers!!! Love your channel I am fan!!!

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Thanks so much for watching! 💎🙌 Yea it’s like a candy store for sure!! 🍬🍭🍡🍧

[@MTNManReviews]

We didn't have a clue about yooperlights when we were up at the Great Lakes. Only went to Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. We collected a lot of rocks, within the 25lb limit, and brought them home. We put them out as decoration and gave a few away. After learning about these in your video I went to checking our rocks we collected. Out of about 50 small rocks we had one yooperlight! From either Lake Ontario or Lake Erie!

[@catbeans6258]

I LITERALLY cannot get enough of your dog. So freaking cute!!!! I love your videos! They inspire me to get out there and search too. My brother and I have always been fascinated with gemstones and fossils. Come up here to Minnesota and search for some Agates!

[@trosen5339]

Oh that looks like so much fun!!!!!!!!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Those are some super duper yooperlites! You and Matrix both were having a great time. Rockhounding day and night. Cool!

Never heard of Yooperlites, thank you for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful I never knew that they existed. Thanks for sharing with us all!

[@KimHunter58]

AMAZING!!! So happy I found your channel!! How fun! Thank you for sharing all your Amazing finds!! Love watching them.

[@lauriepenner350]

You could make a really sweet lamp out of these: Make a lamp out of a clear glass vase by adding a cable and bulb attachment and shade, but fill the vase with Yooperlites and use a UV bulb instead of a regular one.

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Great idea!🙌🙏💯

Those are 100% wild blueberries. Great video, looks like fun.

They are gorgeous Bryan, I like the pinky purple ones but they are my favourite colours lol.

Hello!! I love your channel, I was born and raised in Alaska and used to find these all the time. Never knew they looked like this with a uv light and my dad never really let me keep them...I had a huge rock collection from a young age lol he said they were worthless. This is awesome.

Just amazing. Thanks for sharing 🙂

I’m originally from MI and I will have to go back in gets me some of those!! Whatttttt awesomeness!

[@mollyv8b705]

Lol Matrix is hilarious!! What an amazing adventure you are on!!!

[@richardbidinger2577]

Imagine collecting enough of these that you could cut and tile your entire home. Freak out any guests you have by installing black lights for at night. That would be an epic floor.

[@TheCrystalCollector]

Wow that would be epic, great idea

[@R.M.MacFru]

It would takes decades. Michigan has a 25 lb limit for rockhounding on state land. And the Lakeshore is mostly state land....except where it's a national park, and then you can't rockhound at all.

[@dorkelf001]

Awesome video. Can't get over how cute Matrix is. Wish I could get up to the Lake superior area to hunt these and some LSA's.

[@andrea050405]

Just luvvvvvvvveeee your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CoinandRelicOntario]

Very cool finds, the variety of sodalite that fluoresces is called Hackmanite. Sodalite itself is a purple/blue color as from the Princess sodalite mine near Bancroft, Ontario. Thanks for sharing, those cobbles are very nice!!

I love Lake Superior! Haven't been there in years---thanks for sharing your adventure. I had no idea about these glow in the dark stones there.

Yooperlites & huckleberries!! =Heaven!

[@lauriepenner350]

Your Yooperlite videos remind me of a book I read as a kid. The characters had to go out at night to find these magic glowing stones that only appeared by moonlight. I always wished I could find one too.

So Beautiful this phenomenon is called TENEBRESCENCE, which is reversible photochromism : the ability of minerals to change colour when exposed to light. Say the word ten times till it's part of your vocabulary, its such a beautiful word....❣️

I have a dish pan full of Lake Superior rocks I brought with me when I moved from Ironwood to Chattanooga over 20 years ago. I am going to check them to see if any of them are Yooperlites.

[@DigginWithDeej]

Great video! Just a heads-up the weird rock that fluoressed was a rare piece of chain coral

Thank you for that, I found that out a little bit later but at the time I had no idea. It sure is really cool stuff, you’re right they are very rare to find!

Love the videos... my wife and I are heading to find yooperlites from Johnson city Tennessee in a couple of weeks is there anywhere you might suggest that we might actually find some? Also we hope to find a puddingstone or two.... appreciate any knowledge you might share. We never been there but we are going to give it our best effort.... hope to hear from you.

Love those purples!! And you gotta be fast if you're in those waves! (Chain coral is the one flower you found) Still trying to figure difference of long and shortwave blacklight...

[@Seeds-Of-The-Wayside]

For finding these yooperlites it doesn't really matter. I have both. But the long wave flashlights are usually bigger and brighter. And they work great.

Hi! Love your vids! What uv flashlight did you use in this video?
