I Found GLOWING Yooperlite Rocks on a Lake Superior Beach in Michigan - Rockhounding

- This was an absolutely incredible adventure! I traveled nearly 1,500 miles up into the northernmost part of Michigan in search of an incredible ultraviolet fluorescing stones nicknamed yooperlites. I met up with Bri, a Michigan native, who showed me the ropes and helped put me on some good locations, and we had a blast searching the lake shore, photographing comet NEOWISE, the Milky Way, chasing around toads, finding all sorts of cool rocks and fossils, etc.

What would it cost to ship to Sweden (Europe?)
Me oh my! Chris, of all the videos of yours I Love this one the most. I want to go there. Hey, when you two were distracted by Mr Toad, to (our left) of him was a nice yooperlight you missed. Bri, I'm in Northern California and want to know what is the best time to go looking for yooperlites in Northern Michigan or what months to avoid? It may sound silly, but looking at those awesome stones gives me joy. I am not on facebook or instagram. Is there another way to view your art and perhaps purchase something with yooperlite? Even the name is joyful, right?
No worries either way. Where there's a will, there's a way. : )
What kind of camera did you use to get the pic of the comet? I loooove that camera! Amazing pic!!!
find me one i have agitates .. never heard of that stuff.
I just ordered my 2nd pack. It is so much fun! I cannot wait to move to Florida here soon!
It's 5:33am and I'm watching a couple of stoners search for glowing rocks. This is the life...this is it, the content I needed
The wife and I are those people as well.
You meet the most interesting people out there!
Imagine putting these rocks in a scorpion’s enclosure. The scorpion would glow and look like a monster treading across lava!
Great idea !
I considered this... It would also work for a bunch of different spiders. Fish tanks. Let's go look up how much it will cost, for a pile of rocks...
@@randomconsumer4494 yooperlites are pricy.
@@danksmoker420 they aren't that bad.
@Quaid Patrick Howard Johnson 😒
Glad you had fun in the mitten state!!! lived in michigan my whole life, people do not realize how awesome Michigan is
The geology of around Lake Superior is very interesting.
I agree! The shape of our state alone (the lower Peninsula) is so amazing!
Wow! Cris, I've never heard of or seen these treasures! Just amazing! Your photos of the night sky are fantastic! I always appreciate your work. Keep it up. Stay happy, safe, and healthy! ♥️
3:52 that's Unakite. Green epitote and pink feldspar. They can be rock/minerals or more crystallized
Thank you, I collected a rock almost identical to that one from Lake Ontario and was unable to identify it. Just decided it might be jasper but I'll look into unakite now.
You're welcome
Awesome video; I loved the comet & Milky Way pics, & the flowers under the uv light look’d magnificent. 1st time seeing these amazing yooperlite rocks, they’re beautiful. Thx for sharing the video. Amitābh
Brie just seems to always take away everyone's glory. She just has a natural eye to spot good samples. That was some awesome pictures of the comet and the Northern Lights and the Milkyway. So many Yooperlites and not enough time. At least you had some good weather to search for them. Great video too.
These stones are gorgeous as is, but wow. I have never heard of the glowing under UV. Thank you so much, you two!
Loved the photos of the comet and Milky Way. Thanks so much!
I’m so glad to see you posting again! Let’s get Cris to 100K!!!
Yes and No Prob. : )
it has happened
Wow born and raised in michigan and found a few when i was up at uni in the up hope you enjoyed the beautiful lake and wilderness of michigan its a thing we as a state are proud of
Those are so cool my granddaughter just brought me a whole bunch of rocks back from Lake Michigan. Going to get a UV light and see if any of the glowing. Awesome video thanks for sharing.❤️😁
So much fun watching you find those fabulous glowing rocks. Really pretty there and there's gold in that black sand. GG
It's awesome you're in Michigan! I live in Michigan and we were just at the lake on Sunday.
This is definitely on my bucket list. So cool hunting that beach at night with the UV lights.
I believe that the rocks you found are called rocks and they are made of rock👌👌
Science Man Speaks!
@@mercurywoodrose yes absolutely.... Call me Einstein 🤣🤣
@@Fishing_madnessfr Einstein literally means "a rock" in German 😂
This is probably one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen. I knew about yooberlites but forgot about them so seeing this as you hunt for them is just amazing. Living in North Carolina we do not have stones like that at all like. This is going to have to be a bucket list trip for me one day. The scenery photos the waterfall the picture of the Milky Way the picture of the Comet neowise I'm just totally blown away by this video. The picture of the spider under UV light was super creepy!
These are like the coolest things ever, imagine having them in a jar and having a UV light making it glow as a decoration
Wow, Chris... those photos are stunning! And cool video, as always :)
How awesome!! Loving the photos too. The rock at 15:55 is absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing. :)
I stood exactly where you were walking in the beginning of this video. And what I was told is that you'd be in the wrong area where those rocks are found. I could be wrong. Maybe she was talking about one area specifically by her.
Ps. While there we ran into some guy and he told us not to be walking around the woods area of the UP from dusk to dark that strange things happen after dark. He told us that you can't see your hands in front of your face and to always make sure you have 3 ways to start a fire. Which i already knew about all this. Pretty much its another missing 411 case. Be careful
Your videos are super easy to watch
No load irritating music, just enough audio. ty
Great video, Chris. Now I need to go out and get a UV light to take up to the UP! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, you found some great Yooperlites and fossils--loved the spider and the toad. Good job photographing the comet and the northern lights--sad we can't see it from my area. Thank you!
Yeah, the comet and the aurora is one that would be great to have printed, framed, and hung in your home or office. The Milky Way shot was also beautiful.
I’m so amazed of these rocks that glow. The shot of the comet and the northern light was fantastic. It was awesome.!!! I want to go to find some glowing rocks!!! Since you’ve shown how to check for phosphorus rocks I’ve UV checked everything. Hahhaha
Reminds me of beaches back home in Estonia🇪🇪, where pine forests are next to the sea and sands. Also we have abundance of wild blueberries to pick in the forests and they are huge at this time of the year.💜 awesome video! 💜
U speak Russian?
@@Sparky19124 no, Estonian 😄
@@lumemaa7 same difference lol. You guys border each other
@@Sparky19124 You speak Mexican?
You cant make mistakes, if you like the stone. By time you learn, and then you will know what kind of stone you find. Good luck to both of you...🥰👍👍🍀🍀
Those yooperlite rocks are definitely cool , but I loved your photos of the comet , with the aurora , and the Milky way .
You are so close to us!!! We love hunting for Yooperlites! We find lots of fun fossils too. You should check out some spots in Petoskey for Petoskey stones!
I visited sleeping bear dunes with my good friends and I have on my desk a coral fossil as you mention but unfortunately I had to buy one as I did not get time to look. I love it if live in the UK and the Stone reminds me of good times in a beautiful place with wonderful friends. X
They're not just in Petoskey.....
As far as I've seen there are no petoskey stones left in petoskey.
@@jibblesq i just got some this summer!! Just gotta know where to look ❤
@@tomellison5034 I find them on a hillside in Manton mi
Welcome to my hometown. Enjoy the beautiful Great Lakes guys.
OUTSTANDING.....WOW how cool those rocks would look in a large fish tank....You two are awesome......Thanks very much...!
If you look in the spots where the waves splash up and wet the stones it makes finding agates easier. There's probably some good ones in the dry spots but it's a lot harder to find them
Ahhh love going yooperlite hunting! Glad you got to come up and try it🤙🏼🤙🏼
Where at??? Or maybe honestly don't say
This rocks look amazing...🤩🍀👍
Every mile was worth it for these magical stones. Very cool video👏
Beautiful rock specimens, but they cannot compete with Bri. Absolutely stunning.
Awesome video, mate! Always know it's gonna be something good when you post 👍
That is an absolute beautiful Picture of the commit and milky way
Love your videos. It takes me back when my sons & I used to explore.
Love your enthusiasm
We were at whitefish point two days ago. Absolutely beautiful area!!!!
Lots of quartz, granite, agates. ❤️❤️❤️
Those pictures of the sky are stunning! Also I never knew these existed and I’m from wisco, definitely on my bucket list now!!
This sea is so beautiful, dear. the pebbles and rocks underfoot and the water is clear
😱🤔🤗💃🕺🏼👍👍
I've never had any desire to go to Michigan except for Petoskey stones but now I can add yooperlites to the list.
I'm from Northern WI, love day tripping to the UP for agates and yooperlites. Im glad you had a good time
8:50 what was that glowing purple/blue thing in the bottom left corner?
i saunt that too
Saw it too.😁
@@v.bailon4618 yes
Good eye
I would get that stone
We absolutely love watching your channel. If you are ever around the detroit metro area you should go magnet fishing with us.
THESE ARE SO FREAKING GORGEOUS!!! Man, that big one you found in the water at 16:00 looks like a potato that somebody baked in Hell. I think if I had these I'd use them to pave a path, and then I'd install a blacklight to shine down on it; the effect would be *amazing.*
That would be so freaking amazing!
Cut them and make a countertop
Genius!
I'm from Michigan and I love the UP have Bree take you to Whitefish Pointe , tons if rocks there
Excellent video. Wish I could had one for my collection
So many Oooos... excellent photos, great share. New fan UK 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Grew up on the Minnesota side of Lake Superior. Those green/pink(salmon) rocks are something really only found on Lake Superior & Virginia called Unakite! I have a handful of them in my collection from walking the shores. Congrats on finding some! I recommend getting it polished if possible, the green gets really vibrant.
I Love Michigan spent many summers there in my younger years Most Beautiful
The yooperlites look like granite rockwith no uv lamp.thank for sharing all of our beautiful planet and the NEOWISE comet.
They are actually related to granite. I mean, they're cousins! Yooperlite is made of Syanite which is cooled magma with inclusions of Fluorescent Sodalite. But they hardly have any quartz in them at all. Granite is made the same way, just with no sodalite and lots of quartz.
I went rock hunting a Lake Superior a while ago, and I picked up basically one of every rock. This video made me go take a UV light to all of them and it turns out I picked one up randomly!
#LUCKY
So glad to have found your channel! I love to rock pick in Michigan (my home state) and can't wait to try for some Yooperlites next time we get to the UP!
This whole video is AMAZING!
I had never heard of Yooperlites! This is on my bucket list now!!!
I've never heard of them either & I lived up there for many years, beautiful footage, I miss that area
Per you-tube they were discovered in 2017. Accidentally.
Cool Grandma Cool! Any more info?
@@ThomasinaJefferson-ke7xs grandma? Really? 😂
CD H Huh?
I’m from Fla. have collected shark teeth for 40 years. N other fossils. I’m in Oregon now n petrified wood n agates and fossils . Would love to find these rocks. !!! Rock Fossils will travel. Thanks for fun n pictures.
I was in that same exact spot and its breathtaking.
Those photos you took are epic!
Wow! t would be super cool to build like a little display shelf with built in ultra violet light! Or do one of those tables which as a display section under a glass top and put a bunch of cool stones and build in ultra violent light that you can turn on in the evening...
My Mom found an old kitchen buffet top with the glass missing out of the doors. She repainted it, put in glass shelves and glass in the doors, and had my brother mount UV lights on the underside of the shelves. She displays her collection of Vaseline Glass in it--everybody "Oooo's and ahhh's" when they see it. Wouldn't something like that be cool to display your collection?
@@Doxymeister Sounds amazing!
You're inspiring me to learn more about geology. Love your channel.
What I found interesting, is that plenty of the stones actually glowed, but they were not visible to your eyes, only the camera. If you had been using a higher frequency UV, plenty of those stones would have looked orange to you.
She is such a godess , bless y'all
Very cool yooperlite finds! It's fun to see you enjoy rockhounding. The pictures were stunning, by the way!
You missed the fluorite ones - they glow blue/purple OMG photos were epic - Colour me green! Oh you picked some of the fluorite up. They aren't as stunning as the Yooperlites but still cool.
You do such a great job with the photography...(videography?). This is beautiful as always!
Great spot, it’s on my list Don Fassbender has sent me a few 🐠🤿🇦🇺dan oh my the northern lights were great thanks mate for sharing this adventure
Thanks for watching Dan!
The night sky photos were great!!
Forget the yooperlites, Bri is the real gem on that beach LOL
They are everywhere!
Happy 😊 hunting have fun and enjoy your self thank you for this awesome 👏 video omg that is soooo coool wow 😮 just beautiful
Really nice Stone! Especially that one at 17:30, it looks like a Jack-o'-lantern
Chris, you made an awesome video, on of my most favorite. Why? Because you have a beautiful guide. Because you took pics of nature. Because you took pics of comet and northern lights. And the moonlight on the water! The waterfall!!! And of course the rocks were spectacular. When I take rock trips I take pics of everything, so we are a kindred spirit. Keep up the good work!
Dan BowlofSpinach I wanna know how baked you were writing that lol
They look like there is fire smoldering inside the rock❤️🔥
Looks fun. I love Yooperlite and recently bought a cat w wings made of yooperlite. Cool to see how it's actually found. Love your channel!
That is fantastic, when I was a kid, we saw Aurora Borialis several times in the Midwest your shots are excellent
I find these along Lake Ontario north of Oswego, NY. Great fun.
I really enjoyed this video Cris.
Awesome finds and great photos!
So amazing...
UNIKITE is the first stones you found, greenish with orange/ Reddish spots. My favorite. cool properties.
Those rocks are just gorgeous. I have never seen them before or heard of them. Of course I'm from California in the Mojave desert and we don't get that around here.
Wow... ! How awesome... ! Great Job!
Thank you for saying I can find these on Lake Superior that gives a better idea I might find some I haven’t left house yet since 4th brain tumor surgery so I’m hoping to do this in a few weeks here in Duluth Mn . I think should be successful. Have fun guys those are amazing
Beautiful guide. The rocks are not bad either. 😊
Those are like magical glowing embers, crazy awesome man! I love your taste of hunting partner as well, Brie is absolutely gorgeous.✌
I remember looking for agates up in Michigan on Lake superior with my grandparents
You can hear the pain in his voice when he hands over the shiny ones to her
Wow! That first one you found in the water was amazing! Love the photos too! I've lived in Michigan most of my life but I'm in Tennessee now. I miss Michigan so much.
You my brudduh have found da wey! Hello again glad to see another video from you! I'll shuddup and watch now I'm sure it'll be "lit" hahaha seriously....
cool finds..was Up there the weekend of July 22nd with my daughter who's from Missouri to find these as i live in Ohio been there before & found some a year ago sadly we didn't find a single 1 & a lady that lives there said with all the people that hunt them & do tours to hunt them there's very few found anymore & people are just leaving thier trash all over which is sad 😥 ended up her brother bought her a small 1 in Mackinaw City just so she could have 1😊 on the plus side we got to see the Northern Lights & got some really awesome pictures 💜💜
Never clicked so fast! New video, woooo!
You guys found some really awesome stones! I don´t know much about all these different rocks/stones/gems and whatnot, but I do like them :) even it they don´t have any value, they can still be very beautiful :) 💜
I love Lake Superior!! We used to go and get drift wood and blue agates.
When you pick up the yooperlite I, for a moment, want to scream "Watch out, it's hot, you'll
get burnt." I guess that's because they look like hot coals from a bonfire. The rocks are excelent conversation pieces.
The green and pink is possibly Unakite it's commonly found at your location. Also called the relationship stone. Fits the feels of this video.
Wow thats a so wonderful Stone😍
Hi from France and thanks for your video.
My job is to find stones in France. So Yooperlite is a little far from me. Your prospection make me travel ^^
Maybe you can trade some stones with Chris? Just an idea
