Incredible GLOWING Yooperlite Rocks, BLUE Crystals, Garnets and MORE Found in Michigan

  • This was an INCREDIBLE day and NIGHT of rockhounding all through the mine spoils and beaches of Michigan. We found SUCH a variety of things including chlorite replaced garnets, celestine crystals with calcite, pyrite (or chalcopyrite), staurolite, black tourmaline, serpentine, yooperlites (fluorescent sodalite), a few fossils and a ton of other incredible things. I have to say, just because of the sheer variety of things found and the intensity of this adventure, it has to be one of my favorites yet.

    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

    The blue crystal could be blue celestite, this would explain the light blue colour and tabular shape. The stone you where mining in looks like a dolostone/ maybe limestone. It looks like you found calcite in the same local which makes sense as it can be found with blue tabular celestite in certain locals in dolostone. I collect up north in Canada in the Niagara region and there are some places that I have been to that are know to have these types of minerals together. Even though it is most likely not aquamarine as some people are saying it is still quite rare and you are lucky to have found some.

  • @dlowe5759
    @dlowe5759 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @GrammaRosesHomestead
    @GrammaRosesHomestead 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.)

    The blue crystals are not kyanite. Kyanite forms in metamorphic rocks which isnt what you are digging in. The rock looks like a dolostone and limestone, which explains the pyrite, fluorite and calcite crystals.
    The lime green mineral is likely part of the serpentine group of minerals and could be a number of minerals.
    The black shiny rock is schist.
    If you have anything else rock and mineral related, I am happy to assit.
