Forgive the pessimism a second; -10 bucks says whatever mystical and almost supernatural amazing life, growth, or formations are long destroyed by this disgustingly greedy race... well, not the whole human race, but you get my point. The altruistic of us are far to few, and the egoistic far to many. Now that's out of the way... lol I too would love to see what wonders lurk beneath that mysterious lake. Wouldn't it be amazing to take a sub down there to find and investigate some old lava tubes or caves that link it to an ocean? The type of wildlife would be unimaginable.
@@sandiscuriousthings257 I doubt they would be in Texas but there are tons of fluorescent minerals in the United States. Get a light and go look. Ya never know until you try. I sell lights at www.yooperlites.com
Congrats to Erik Rintamaki for finding such an exciting rock and getting to name it! Wow. Thanks for taking us on the expedition to find some of your own ... that was fun. Thanks for sharing. .... I shared it too.
I thought about decorating my living room with these and have UV lights installed but then remembered how all the jizz would light up... they should have named it jizzlite
Can you imagine the big smile on the face of God when this gentleman found the first one of these!!!!!! God was probably wondering when someone would come upon them. Another mystery of his creation found!!!!!!!!!! They are beautiful.
I don’t think we’ve even found half of what’s out there. There’s so many conditions that make interesting minerals and so many of those at depths we have yet to reach. There’s still so many amazing things yet to be found and it’s so exciting to know we might find new ones like this any day.
These are simply amazing! There is so much beauty on our planet if people would only take the time like you do to look for it. Because most of the time it's right in front of our face. Thank you so very much for sharing these are simply out of this world 🌍
@@nickieb5297 no I will not. I'm already 6ft 5.. And a pain to find jeans to fit me. If I grow up anymore that will make it impossible to find jeans.. Can I not grow out instead.??
Michigan is the place to be for some beautiful rocks. Just another reason to plan a rock hunting trip😉. I would have been picking up rocks left and right. Awesome find
I’ve never been crystal hunting or geode hunting but have always been fascinated with stones of any kind, 68 now and a little old to start but sure do love your videos!!
i wish your still healthy and living happily! And nah, it probably wont be too old to start this hobby, irregardless of your age. I used to collect crystals when younger. I am still in crazy love with collectible stones of all kinds and of all seven colours on rainbows, be they precious stones, semi-precious ones, or just common glowing rocks like yooperites and sodalites.
This inspired me so much that I wrote a poem! What should the title be?? I found a galaxy on the beach and had to take it home! It was beautiful and speckled, and I swear to you it shone! Under the autumn-moonlight I tried counting all its stars, As I held it tightly in my hand, and climbed into the car... I raised it to the window and I squinted both my eyes, Because I’ve heard the poets say that galaxies are planets in disguise... I held my breath as a shooting star flew right under my nose... This galaxy inside my hands is living, I suppose! And as the sky above me darkened and my own stars came into view, I closed my eyes, wondering, if someone’s holding my galaxy too
I remember swimming in Little Prescisle frequently as a kid🤗. And after one day complaining about the rocky beaches realizing how beautiful and awesome most the rocks were. My mom finally got an answer as to why i kept insisting to go out a little further/deeper than she liked. She was *not* used to that. As in the red river, much warmer water, i was spooked from a fish nibbling my toe. And she had no problems with me staying near😅. I told her there was a peaceful feeling out there, farther out. I asked about it being from the water and she said it sounded like i was speaking of the earth. She explained things to me about the surface and beneath. Probably the first time i made a "metaphysical" connection about stones. Or one that had actually became pesonal to me based on my experience. My middle name is Jade, so i was familiar with the concept. Thanks for sharing the video guys 🤗🤗
What an amazing find, they are gorgeous and I loved the blue one you found Bryan. Well done Eric for finding something new. One of the mysteries of Mother Nature that has been discovered. Thank you for taking us along my friend. Take care, good luck and happy hunting Mary-Ellen UK
I live in the Granite Belt, a fantastic rock hounding area in south east Queensland in Australia. You can find tons of cool rocks including clear and blue topaz, low quality agates and enormous smoky quartz (up to a foot long in some places, no joke). I have even been fossicking for sapphires and opals away a few hours away from my place. But if I lived in America anywhere near Lake Superior, I would drop everything and go to look for these incredible yooperlites! I love these so much! I reckon they should be given the nickname "night opal", because they looks so much like the orange glows you can get from opals.
I am so glad that you had the opportunity to meet and hunt with Erik Ringtamke ( I know I spelled it wrong!) Mr Yooperlite himself. What an amazing rock to find! They just glow! Some look like they should be hot!
WOW!!! This is why I have been a rockhound all my life ...No two rocks,crystals or fossils are ever the same ...Rock hunting to me is always like Christmas morning ya never know what ya may find...( That toad was so cute.)
I seen a video a while back, where a woman picked up a what she thought was a pretty rock at one of the beaches she went with her family. And she put it in her pocket. A little while later she felt this awful pain where she put the rock in her pocket. It ended up burning her so badly that she ended up in the ER. And she had 3 degree burns on her leg and need surgery. FOLKS, be careful what you pick up.
ABSOLUTELY THE MOST SATISFYING VIDEO you’ve filmed ever! The water waves and the findings of these beauties, is beyond me!!!! This video is SOOO UNDERRATED!
Somewhere along the shores of Lake superior is a Cliffside that fluoresces at night and we have not yet discovered it.Fabulous! My father, grand and great grandparents worked the copper mines of the UP, after immigrating from tin country in Cornwall GB. The Lake Superior round stones are fascinating! Congratulations on your discovery!
Those are really neat. About the 3rd or 4th one from last one that you picked up there was a smaller glowing purple rock about, and I'm guessing, 8 to 10 inches above the one you took. I was hoping you'd see it and get it but that didn't happen. 😥 Alright I went back and looked again. It was at like 10:19 in the video. If you're looking on a phone you need to go fullscreen to see it.
Whaaaat about all that green , and Chalcedony andxagates,and jasper laying there too! Lol. I would,have more,than i could,carry in 10 minutes. Here in NC you have to dig deep and long to find anything worth keeping.
Vermont is tough, too. I've spent years with little to show. But, I do have a few nice pieces. Some of the world's best garnet nearby, but not allowed in the area to look for it.😒
Teresa Salmon walking the beach during the day is a trap! I could stay for hours! You can only pick 25 pounds a year, so you have to be selective. Anything round or egg shaped catches my eye too. I’m sunk!
That is totally awesome. I've never heard of these and I live in Michigan. I'm going to make a trip up there in early spring right after ice out and the winter waves have washed up more. Thanks for the incredible video.
Those are the coolest things EVER...When the UV light hits them they look like glowing embers🔥...And the smiley face one 😀...And the galaxy 🌌one and the other one that is your new favorite with the band that wraps around? - Sweeeeeet....Yes you rock dude!...(pun intended)
Welcome to Michigan and the amazing U.P.! For those that don’t know, a person who lives in the Upper Peninsula - or U.P. - is called a “Yooper”. It comes from “U” “P” -Er. That’s why Eric named them “Yooperlites”. They are cool rocks, but I for one, will be glad when the Yooperlites craze fades. Too many people walking the beaches all night long looking for these. No, they are not radioactive. Nor Opal. Nor are they charged by sunlight. They have fluorescent sodalite in them that is only visible by certain waves (UV) of light. Which is why you need a special flashlight to find them. In normal light, they look like just plain granite rocks. But the U.P. has so many amazing geological finds! (BTW: I think you can find them for sale online and I think Eric has a website to sell them too.)
Ohand if you go to Munising to do the picture rocks, take the morning tour. It's best in the morning when the wind isn't blowing and the water is like a mirror and the reflection off the water and the colored rocks is incredible.
@@charleskunkle7029 I'm sure they are along a big part of the North shore. Those glaciers spread stuff out far and wide a long with the ice on the lake every year then breaks up and carries rocks all over.
@@Zeddicus_Zorander Oh you're so right. Well then I would just use it for my front flower beds that actually have red wood chips and bolders and no flowers.

your videos are awesome the one you did on Mar 30, 2017 about finding amethyst quartz crystals really brought back the rock hound in me i live in VA and we have a lot of clear quartz but people have found amethyst I'm still hopeful that i'll be able to find my chunk of Rockbridge County amethyst
So...there are still new minerals on the surface of this planet left to discover. That is quite inspiring and eye opening. I have always knows humans have not discovered as much as they think. So many just assume we have seen it all and know it all so they dont even bother looking. This is a fantastic example I will surely end up referencing in a future video on my actual channel.

@@sandiscuriousthings257 anywhere in the great lakes region that glaciers took stones.
Hmmm, I live in southeast Texas but I am near the big thicket which is where a glacier came through and melted. Maybe they are there as well?

Eeeek! That whole beach is a rockhound's dream!!!!
Most definitely! Just the "LSA's" alone are enough reason for me to go. (Lake superior agates)
For sure!!! I want them all!!!
Yeah and plus there’s tons of Petoskey stones
Got that damn straight
I would have a truckload of non-glowing rocks too before the night was over!
who else wants to build a city of this stone and use uv lamps to illuminate the whole thing xD
And then whole city people will get vanished together due to skin cancer.... 😇😅
I'm coming down on acid right now lol and you just painted the most beautiful picture in my mind, that's an awesome idea lol.
i hope you like beeing sun burnt, otherwise idk

your videos are awesome the one you did on Mar 30, 2017 about finding amethyst quartz crystals really brought back the rock hound in me i live in VA and we have a lot of clear quartz but people have found amethyst I'm still hopeful that i'll be able to find my chunk of Rockbridge County amethyst
I’ve never seen them. Super cool ! 😎✌🏼💫
So...there are still new minerals on the surface of this planet left to discover.
That is quite inspiring and eye opening.
I have always knows humans have not discovered as much as they think. So many just assume we have seen it all and know it all so they dont even bother looking.
This is a fantastic example I will surely end up referencing in a future video on my actual channel.
And they say everything has been done. Beautiful.
Those beaches have tonnes of beautiful 'normal' rocks, in my country I couldn't find any rocks that looks so cool....
Omg that's stunning 😍 my mind went crazy with ideas to use them lol.
