So many fluorescent rocks at this public collecting site

- Join me at dusk to collect a few crazy good rocks that glow under long wave UV (black light). This is a public site in downtown Bancroft in Canada. I am using the 4 watt Way Too Cool Convoy flashlight here, but have no affiliation with the company. I bought the lamp a while back. I notice they now have a 6 watt which should be brighter but also probably heats up faster (which is to be avoided by turning off once in a while).

TWO COOL!!!
So many people learn good tips from you! Those really are way too cool rocks!
That's wild man, very cool! thanks for sharing!
That's pretty wild. Thanks for posting.
I think your new friend has already ordered and received his Way Too Cool light and is back in Bancroft😅. So many beautiful colours.
not surprised. lol
Wow wow what a adventure, not many pieces like the score silver, beautiful finds awesome awesome thank you now back the silver one
very amazing Greig😮 was quite cool following along on this adventure
That UV light sure is a cool tool. Great video meMiner.
Thanks 👍
Nice finds Greig--I've never hunted rocks like that before, very interesting. All the best, Lanny
Great Vid Mr Miner , Colours almost like Opal ⚒
It is SO magical. I can't believe it! Like secret opals of the night shining bright! I want one! Thank you so much for taking us with you. Just subscribed
Thank you so much!
Awesome place!!👍😎👻🌶️
Omg I wish I could go there!!! I love uv rocks.
Very cool man! I was just at a NJ fluorescent mine! Fun stuff! I found a wild specimen last time I was in Utah. Pyrite on soda light that looks like yoopers with pyrite in it.
NJ is the best spot for UV minerals
AH!!!!!! I knew that would be awesome! TY MeMiner
You don't know until you try. Good of you to try :) Always enjoy your videos, thanks!
I love uv reactive rocks and you have a really good spot😊 thanks for sharing.
Hiya Greg, awesome video and I love those glowing beauties. That's a awesome light you have, I remember when you first started using it on your videos. That was the coolest rocks.
I hope you have a awesome blessed day.
Cya! 😺🐟 out!
Thanks 👍
Great Hunt !!!!!!!
Amazing specimens, thanks for posting
Awesome looking rocks!
Wow I love a light show.. those colors were so vividly cool.. thanks Greig..❤️☮️
Sweet!! Nice finds!!
I want them!!!!.. lol
Imagine lining the entryway to your home with red glowing rocks! Can you get the right lights for outdoor use for that type of thing? Lava along the sidewalk at night!
Or spelling something funny ... lol
Just received my new uv flash light from Way To Cool, thanks for the tip!
Excellent. Hope you enjoy it.
So fun, as usual! Great info!
Thanks again!
That was solo cool.
I Have a Old 12 volt And Boy It Get's Hot It's For Working In A/C On Car's & Truck's.
Would love to see what a polished stone looks like.
So jealous of your geology over there, love the fluorescent rocks, Only thing that glows around here is some calcite, amber and gypsum that I have been able to find. No patent number on my light tho so I might be passing things by, I use the "Alonefire H42UV 36W 365nm UV" one from amazon, probably garbage hah.
I have never seen amber under UV. I bet it is nice
The stuff around here has a really nice blueish green glow. Usually go out at night if there was a storm the day before to see if anything new has been washed off. I have also been experimenting with using a 405nm - 445nm laser to scout larger areas while wearing the proper and tinted safety lenses. They block out all the laser light frequency but lets most of the fluoresced frequencies come through. I find it hard to explain sry, basically with the laser you can de focus it to cover a 5x5m area and with the glasses anything that produces light (with the lenses i use it comes back as bright green do to the tint) is some sort of reactive mineral. Later under a proper light you can see the real colors. I have not really found anyone else that has tried this before but maybe you have?
@@designworksdw1949 Not me
Many Glowing Reviews in the comment section ! Good stuff.
I've been looking for a good uv light! They definitely should sponsor you, then I could buy one and support your channel!
All I've been able to find are garbage ones... and a super sketchy laser that dumps uv light that it isn't supposed to...
Have you seen any videos of using short and medium wavelength UV lights on the same rocks? I know that using 395 and 365 and 255 wavelengths will produce different colors on the same rock. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
I have a different lamp that does all 3 wavelengths and experienced that. Some rocks look like nothing in black light (365) but sure glow nicely in short or medium wave.
Cool bit of kit,
Rocks in a
U/v display cabinets are awesome,
Different take on humble rocks,,
Does infra red light have an effect on any minerals?
Cool video, cheers me miner
I don't think infra-red would do much. However, short and medium wave UV can be a real treat to try
Cool rocks. Im from USA and wish I could be there. I would buy some of those rocks from you. Do you have a store you sell rocks in?
I don't have a store. I collect for fun
🌠 😎
Looks beautiful Greig. My son and I were at this site a few weeks ago and collected a number of samples as well. Do you know what the minerals are based on colour? I assume the Hakmanite is orange, but what is the purple/blue? Any ideas?
The Blue there is usually sodalite.
Crush rocks into gravel, spread on path/walk/drive way. Rig uv
lighting........ I wonder if that would work....
Have you tried the FS Hunter light? I used to use the convoy till I tried a FS Hunter I find it a lot better.
I haven't seen one in use yet.
How well do they tumble?
Probably a bit soft so would tumble fast
What would happen if you tumbled these rocks or cleaned them up? Would the the fluorescent glows disappear?
No, it's the rock itself that fluoresces, not a coating on it.
I get confued because it looks like everything you shine on is purple, orange or pink. Are they really all Florescent?
The blue is dust but most of the rest is the rock glowing
