i am sorry dude but u should leave enough for other people to find some

[@wynja77]

You might wanna rename this series "look at what Bree found" ;) Loving it!

*Bri 😉

[@wynja77]

@@-Slinger- lol, and here I went "I wonder how that name might be spelled in English?" and then it turns out I could have just spelled it as it sounds in Swedish instead... darn you languages! * gestures angrily at that language gods *

[@earth2veri]

Yep bri carried tbh

[@kennypowers3984]

I don't know a lot about the matrix, crystals, garnets, chlorite, etc, but I do understand passion and you two have passion for what you do. Great job!!!

[@attilathorbjornsson1519]

Hi! At 24:30 you were wondering what the blue glowing Rock is and my wife loves collecting those on our Sodalite hunts. That mineral is called Feldspar and you've probably seen some that glow purplish as well as blue, very cool! When you were at the creek and right before you found the unakite, that red velvet glow on the stones was algae, it's weird but algae glows red under UV light

[@robloxmors]

Cool!

[@JenniferNash-hm8oc]

What if the inside of the rock is glowing red?

[@attilathorbjornsson1519]

@@JenniferNash-hm8oc If part of a rock is glowing Red, that's an indication of Calcite, which glows Red and is also phosphorescent. Others glow Red as well, another being Ruby.

[@JenniferNash-hm8oc]

@@attilathorbjornsson1519 the algae was blue on the beach but the red I seen was inside the rock is that still algae inside of it.

[@attilathorbjornsson1519]

@@JenniferNash-hm8oc if it's inside the rock, it's likely the Calcite

Bri has such a beautiful smile :)

Ты пришел на камни смотреть или на Бри??😂😂😂

[@heidioppermann505]

My daughter & I just love watching you & Bri in your adventures! Love the way you identify & photograph different things in nature and how you respect all creatures! Your photography is just beautiful! We've even made our own "pizza sandwiches"! Keep on hunting!

[@theresedignard4267]

Love how Brie plays to the camera. She missed her calling as an actress. Always great to see you teamed up with friends. Oh man, I have been missing so much on my treks. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us to “hunt” too.

[@Doxymeister]

@16:23, is that aquamarine? Nah, I watched the rest of the video, but it IS lovely! LOL, those spiders are guarding those Yooperlites for you.

[@lindalewis5066]

Bri is a great rock hunter! She's always outdoing you, Chris! You must be proud. 😊 This was a very interesting & fun video! 👍💌

[@kaylahtd4life]

Great finding I love the Crystals and the glowing in the dark rocks those are beautiful I joined the video this was a incredible Jornrey with views of the places too

[@lisaaguilar9930]

OBSESSED with the Yooperlites

[@kimbain4368]

Great finds in this one. What a wide variety of rocks you guys got (the purple looked like amethyst to me). Beautiful scenery, too. Thanks for sharing!

[@4thwallpro]

My father who was watching you believes the blue crystals are aquamarines

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

It does look like aquamarine! Lucky

[@-Slinger-]

Yeah, looks like aquamarine. I've been watching a series on KZbin about Mt. Antero aquamarine mining and it looks the same.

[@alasdairhicks6731]

those arent aquamarines. ive rockhounded in northern Michigan. If there were aquamarine laying around like that, the place would be swamped with prospectors staking claims.

[@carolkemp2571]

It's nice you came to our great state of Michigan! What a fun adventure! Beautiful rocks and crystals. Thanks for sharing! Hopefully I can visit the UP one day soon.

[@joannhempen8210]

Love this! I’m learning so much!

[@pyracuber2916]

I love seeing your reactions to these discoveries! The small flat blue crystals kind of look like Barite, and the purple stuff looks like Lepidolite to me.

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Congratulations to both !! Very beautiful video my friend !! Good luck and keep it up !! Greetings from Greece !!

[@cassandralyris4918]

Ooooooo all black chlorite garnets actually sound pretty cool. All the reactive rocks are also gorgeous.

[@debihalsey2247]

Love your Michigan camping hunts!

[@JaneEllenMusic]

You can find natural celestite in Michigan, and it's blue - so maybe that's what you've found! Awesome. :)

[@Bomond777]

Это все строительный мусор..Ты мне подскажи лучше,где искать сапфиры,изумруды и брелианты..😂

[@lumemaa7]

That shore looks like an alien planet with uv light🐚...amazing!!!!💜💜💜

[@karapoole4070]

I love the yooperlites

[@kathimccarthy6172]

First part of the video is Serpentinite. Serpentine is one of the minerals that make up Serpentinite. The light green waxy mineral is probably lizardite ( serpentine group mineral).

[@annemariemayr3576]

Thanks for sharing. You found a lot of crazy gems. Take care of your finger...🤣🤩🍀

[@jorgreiling2755]

Wow. the blue crystal can be Aquamarines. That's the jackpot if so. Several hundreds of Dollars.

[@eitanengel8259]

Lol you didn’t even finish the video

[@reneesingletary3031]

If you’re wanting to find more Staurolite crosses you should check out Fairy Stone park in Stuart VA. You just pick them off the ground. Lots of fun😁

[@Artista4u10z]

those little blue crystals are amazing.. everything is! thanks for sharing yet again!

[@agustg234]

I love rockhounding, thanks for showing me beautiful stauff

[@Swing4TheRing]

We just got back from da UP and we also found some Yooperlites. Awesome time!

[@janetpullen5210]

Sure enjoyed your day in the creeks of Kentucky... Loved the agates....the color was amazing..thanks for taking us....

[@kittygreenleaf427]

I believe the crystals are aquamarine crystals. For the Blue Rock get in touch with Michigan rocks. He's awesome and knows a ton of information. I love watching his videos also.

[@PaleoCris]

Rob (Michigan Rocks) was just down here doing some fossil hunting with us in Florida! Super nice guy. Thanks for watching the vid.

[@normawinton6832]

So many finds so little time! Love tourmaline, its my birth stone. Im glad you didn't step on mr. Frog. He was so cute😁

[@nickolassantiago5364]

Bree killing it.

[@James-CreekSquad-Jones]

Amazing! I have lived most of my life up here in da Yoop & I'm just discovering these cool things at 43 years old.

[@michellehat1441]

Purple stuff (especially around 17:40) looks like Lepidolite to me. Definitely has that platy/micaceous habit.

[@johnellis3122]

What is the brand name of the UV light you're using?

[@annamarieparsons6107]

Aquamarine is what the little blue crystals are they awesome

[@pinkfrog8686]

1:59 I believe you found banded chert. It’s really pretty when they are polished.

[@cptnkaos5994]

Another great video Chris, those Celestites are amazing

[@nicolasespinoza131]

Nice finds! I enjoy your videos bro, keep up the great work!

[@sophie_penny]

My son and my family are in lockdown ATM due to him having a cough. So we have to (understandably) stay in until we get the results of the test. So thank you for sharing another interesting video for us to watch to help pass the time! Take care xx

[@dianep3071]

For a cough . Omg they are going over board

[@20171118]

It's a great video

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Those blue crystals are gorgeous, whatever they may be! And those Yooper lights are amazing! I couldn't live near there...I'd have to buy a dump truck for my finds!😄💖

[@maryoneill5070]

Cris, awesome finds. Stay safe. ✌❤☺🙏

[@lorilalama9915]

Did you ever think about proposing a show to the History Channel or Discovery with you, Wildkyle, the Crystal Collector, Jake Dallmdy and Jiggin with Jordan? You could do something similar to Josh Gates but based on Geology, Fossils both on land and in the water.

[@devildaymosrocks6401]

Awesome finds ⛏️😎👌

[@devdolph]

The serpentine could be that but the larger sample in specific looks very similar to my sample of chysocolla with a slicknside

[@kariannecrysler640]

Thank you for showing how beautiful my home is! When you grow up in the places like you have filmed in this video, you can understand why the city is barely tolerated. You can also see how our way of life is contributing to going green lol 😂 you always know when you’re back in Michigan when all you can see is trees off the interstate

[@KCoda1248]

Are these places anyone can go that are public lands? It sounds so cool!

[@Dogronnie]

You guys are doing great! What a fun and lucrative job you have! I would like to receive one of those beautied!

[@kerinholmstrom250]

Love the rock hounding, amazing, want more!!!!❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

Which UV light you use to find this rocks ?

[@coreyfritzler58]

What beach in mi are you guys at in this video?

[@EnzosAdventures]

That’s a cool light, would you mind sharing where you got it

[@zytebac]

I just discovered, my Lapis Lazuli glows just like these stones.

[@slimmyhendrix4067]

That's what she said

[@yazzy3760]

Yeah.. it's because of pyrite🥰💙💙

[@kariannecrysler640]

Did you know you can strike quartz crystals in the dark and it flashes light? Something about the crystal structure that the impact/strike causes electrons to emit light.😊

[@kimnkruzin]

Super cool!!

[@HannahandCailinLoesch]

Your videos are amazing! Would love suggestions for crystal hunting in NY or PA!

[@michellewaldvogel3221]

What are the wavelength specs of your flashlight. I’m looking to pick one up for myself for my adventures.

[@PaleoCris]

365nm with a UVA bandpass filter. There’s a link in the description to a website selling lights. Amazon also has some good ones.

[@antenna-man]

Another thank you

[@mirkatu3249]

Fun collab with Bri! Yellow stones like that here in Washington State usually mean sulfur, did you ever find out what it was? :-)

[@angelgreen3532]

Are you willing to share the location of the beach you were on where you found the celestite crystals? I'd like to take my mom rockhounding for mother's day. We live in Michigan.

[@victoriabryer4710]

Hey I got a way you can do this during the day. You get a bucket preferably black or just paint it. Create a hole on the side for the flashlight and a view window on the lid.

[@sonoma1060]

What wave length UV light are you using?

[@coloringwithd]

Nice rocks. Do the Yooperlite sand down as nicely as Petoskey stones? Thank you for sharing ♥♥♥

[@edtherockhound9944]

Hey what’s up man cool video and quick question I live in Massachusetts and we don’t have anything cool like those yooperites and I would like to purchase some are you selling any or do you know of anyone ok thank you enjoy n be safe

[@legendarycreekhunter5929]

The blue minerals are Celestite it is native in Michigan...awesome finds

[@GrammaRosesHomestead]

Could be the chitin in the spider's exoskeleton causing it to glow under UV light. In fact, that's one of the easiest ways of finding hornworms on tomato plants before they get too big to do too much damage - go out in the garden after dark with a UV light and the caterpillars on the plants fluoresce a bright green. Edit to add: Chlorophyll definitely does fluoresce red under UV light. That's why the moss and lichen on the rock looked red when you shone the light on it them! (I'm a botanist and used UV light in my research student.)

[@jemzeldab7086]

Purple looks like Lepidolite, but it could be prehnite in rhyolite (usually green but can be purple). So cool about the celestine!

[@coledesj]

Hey so I'm only 16 but I'm really interested in gems and minerals, so how would I go about learning about this stuff? It just really amazes me

[@emmagolding8533]

Hi, absolutely loving your videos! Could you tell me what torch you are using as was very intrigued by the comparison you did on the video! Thank you!!

[@PaleoCris]

I’m using a 365nm UV light with a visible light filter. The Convoy UV lights are pretty good.

[@emmagolding8533]

@@PaleoCris thank you so much for coming back to me - I will look in to the Convoy :)

[@donnastockwell296]

I'm not sure, but the long blue crystals at16:10 might by Kyanite.

[@abeladames7422]

What uv flash lite do you suggest for beginners

[@mackie_p]

aquamarines or maybe lepidolite? I guess not! either way sooo awesome!

[@candycall5419]

what brand of light do you have?

[@brianriley9426]

Blue crystals are aquamarine. Very cool. Awesome way to spend the time.

[@JamesLovesRocks329]

I think the frog you saw when you were looking for yooperlites was pretty cool

[@Theshizlenizle]

Ahh that looks amazing.... I’m jealous dude

[@madiotcorentin5388]

The blue one could be barite or Celestine but you should check it by a density and a scratch test

[@trachodon]

I think they are barite. Known from the U.P. of Michigan. The small terminated ones resemble those found in Colorado.

[@zer0deaths862]

That first green rock looks like Peridotite. Or Olivine.

[@lmako1837]

Nice chris

[@TheOneAndOnlyroAE]

What kind of light do you use?

[@dlowe5759]

Purple mineral looks like lepidolite to me. It's actually a type of mica. Blue crystals, best guess, could be barite. The golden crystals near it look like calcite or another form of barite. Blue crystal could also be celestite.

[@BIJIHALAM]

great greetings from bijih alam

[@stephenfowler4115]

Looks like celestite aqua would be hexagonal not blade like

[@chinabluewho]

1:21 that looks like wavellite , it sometimes has a globular look .

[@isamidnight]

I think all spiders should be glow in the dark, so I can see them hovering over my bed at night instead of just having to imagine them there.

[@mickcarson8504]

True. I have the same problem with spiders inside. I just don't know how they get in. It gives me the shivers.

[@SonOfTheMorning]

What kind of uv light is that?

[@mayrakopjansen2814]

Cool video

[@kimnkruzin]

Black silvery shiny stony is Iron ore as far as I remember when I lived up there!! Most beautiful place to live is the UP. Oh, there is an abandond iron mine ghost towns up there west towards the penninsula

[@KickzNBeatz]

Interesting stuff

[@oculusangelicus8978]

Those tiny blue Crystals are Aquamarines and they fetch a high price, definitely send them to me to make sure they aren't fake!

[@Snookie627]

What's the proper UV wavelength for hunting these?

[@uncannyvalley2350]

It's in the description

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

UP has copper points made by the Indians. I'd love to find an ancient copper spear point .

[@sandysimon7313]

Well then! I admit i was wring and would love a blue crystal!

[@goldcambodia]

Good!

[@kittylevee4662]

Your little blue crystals look like they might be beryl⁉️ 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

[@liddyshipman9711]

Go check out Mount Ontario Colorado I think it's aquamarine I watch them all the time that's what they find in rocks.

[@liddyshipman9711]

I meant on line.

[@TiffYG2133]

@Common Logic Or know someone who does

[@C.O.G.]

The blue crystals are called Celestine (suh-LESS-teen). It's amazing how sodalite glows in ultra violet light. Very beautiful.

[@patrickgauvib685]

Please can you tell me the brand of your uv lights ? I don't want to buy the wrong one 🙂👍

[@breico8535]

The glowing rocks look like the meteor rocks from Smallville

[@jefftrag1956]

That light green might be a uranium mineral, I think autunite or something like that
