Can invisible UV light make amber gemstones easier to find? Sounds a bit weird but let us test if it really works. Including testing if some inexpensive UV safety glasses will protect our eyes when using high-intensity ultraviolet flashlights. Time for a journey into the world of fluorescence...

Some recommendations: Many kinds of amber are not merely fluorescent but also phosphorescent. You can check by closing your eyes while the light is on and opening as soon as you turn it off. Putting the sample in the freezer, or better yet cooling it with liquid nitrogen will dramatically extend the phosphorescent glow lifetime by leaving the unpaired electrons in the excited triplet state stuck there without the availability to absorb thermal kinetic energy to flip the spin and allow the electron to relax back to the ground state. Also, if you are really into this stuff I HIGHLY recommend getting a quality 365nm true UV LED with a proper zwb2 filter to look for fluorescence. The 400nm LEDs here just totally wash everything out in purple, but the filtered 365 light is DRAMATICALLY better at viewing everything. A good pair of UVEX clear UV blocking goggles would also let you see the true colors of fluorescent things unlike the yellow goggles.

It will fluoresce objects 70-90ft away with only a single LED. My much larger 3-LED "uvBeast V3" 365nm with it's 3 LED's, only fluoresces objects 50-60ft away. The uvBeast V3 is still is an awesome light and beats 99% of the UV lights out there.

Please allow me a correction/addition here. The word electrum comes from the greek word ἤλεκτρον. While latin has been the bridge transferring the word to the western languages, the origin of the word is clearly ancient Greek. The word electricity comes from this word, with an latin ending of course, as the Greeks would name it ηλεκτρισμός.

I envy your UV laser... While the 405 nm violet 'blu-ray' lasers are very good at making things fluoresce, they are also visible. I would like to have a UV laser in the future to make things fluoresce using truly invisible light in an even more impressive way. Though a single wavelength laser may not be as good as a wider spectrum UV LED. The wider the spectrum, the more likely it is, that some of the photons have exactly the right wavelength/energy to cause fluorescence. Thanks for the early watch!

Do not get the yellow protection glasses if you plan to see what is emitting blue fluorescent light, since it blocks it out.

Hello. Great video. I just wanted to say, here in Michigan we have rocks ( sodalite-rich syenite rocks in Michigan ) that contain florescence. (AKA Yooperlite) Yooper is a native word, meaning upper peninsula of the state. These rocks are sodalite-rich syenite rocks that also glow under UV light. It’s nice to now know, the glowing is due to the excited state of the electron and losing energy in the form of light. Oddly, it’s the same color as the amber in most cases, but some do vary in color. So, I’ll assume the energy released is different in some, for reasons I’m sure you know.

Can you do a video on many different kinds of florescent rocks that can be found in your backyard? We have a patio deck and we put rocks below them. And I took my blue laser outside one night to do some wood burning in the nice cool summer weather. And I noticed that the rocks, pretty much all of them had this orange glow on the edges. But when you turn the light off they don't glow and you can't see any paint or anything of any sort on them under normal light from a flashlight or anything. These rocks were bought from a mass rock company where they take rocks from a copper mine or canyon and grind them up and sell them as rocks or gravel. I would love to know what was on these rocks and why they glow an extremely bright orange color. I noticed it wasn't just on the rocks as I shined the diverged beam on the concrete and leaves on the ground. This orange was in streaks on the concrete and also on leaves on the ground. Not all of the leaves had the color but a lot did. I also went inside and saw the same color but in very tiny pieces of fabric on the carpet. I could only see this color with my blue laser safety glasses on. Without them on I couldn't see any of this orange color. Could you do a video on this particular phenomenon or subject to help answer this very strange question and phenomenon? I've tried searching the web for this info, but it appears it doesn't exist because nobody has covered it. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Great video by the way, keep it up!

could you show us other natural things that fluoresce under UV light? maybe just going for a walk in the wilderness and shining it on everything we might get some real surprises! And you could go into the forest, to lakes and rivers, maybe some meadows.... And OF COURSE go to some places with different types of rocks... (I KNOW you have more than clay and mud lol.. right???) I think it would be SUPER MIND BLOWING!!! And now that it is Summer time you will get some real results compared to the rest of the year! What do the rest of you guys think? Sound like a cool video?? :)

I've purchased many UV lights for rock hounding. You will notice them even more and from farther away with the "Convoy C8" 365nm UV. It's a lil pricey ($100) but it is the best 365nm UV out there. It will fluoresce objects 70-90ft away with only a single LED. My much larger 3-LED "uvBeast V3" 365nm with 3 LED's, only fluoresces objects 50-60ft away. The uvBeast V3 is still is an awesome light and beats 99% of the UV lights out there.

I guessed right. Left sample is amber. And i know name of right side sample - it is yellow or "honey" agate. In childhood, playing in sandbox we named such agates "sun stones" and hight valuing it as child treasures. I'm still keep one with milky yellows and light oranges growth layers.

Thank you for reminding me to go walk the creek behind our house with a UV flashlight. I'll be heading out tonight with the wife. We live in a glacial till zone in NY. So many random minerals can be found in the creek bed. Can't want to see if any of them light up.

I've been up in Fano in Denmark using these at night, but the problem is that certain shells and seaweeds also flouresce, so it's still very tricky to find any amber.

Very interesting video. I was wondering during it how he found all these samples. Fake amber would be pretty rare (at least I hope), so how do you get it?

why would fake amber be expensive? those are just rocks that happen to look a lot like amber. If anything would be expensive, it would be the *actual* amber.

You should probably mention to be careful on the German side of things, there is a lot of phosphor on our beaches that can be mistaken for ember.

I wonder how widespread that Greenland rock is. Can you imagine if there was enough of the rock to be cut into counter tops? By day, marble, by night, rave party!

But the question is: how much amber do I need to find to cover the cost of this equipment?

You could do it with one piece if you find some with an insect in it! Ants and flies are somewhat common, (yet still valuable), but find a piece with a bee, spider, or other larger insect or lizard, and that amber can be worth it's weight in gold!

Perhaps you should show in a video what your uranium samples look like under different types of UV light
