We Found GLOWING Rocks at Night while CAMPING Along Lake Superior in Michigan - Yooperlite Hunting
Vložit

- What an adventure! We decided to go all the way up to Michigan and do some camping along the shores of Lake Superior. The weather just barely cooperated with us, making for much less actual hunting time than we expected....but we made the best of what we had and still had a great time with plenty of memories. Our primary objective (besides having fun and sharing it with all of you!) was to find a fluorescent form of sodalite nicknamed yooperlites. These stones glow an extremely vibrant orange color when hit by a specific type of UV flashlight at night. We did manage to find some of my best ever specimens of these which made the trip a huge success, despite the weather.

Just wanted to drop a line. I’m a rock enthusiast. I have been collecting rocks my whole life & to learn more about them & new rocks I didn’t know existed is really exciting. Wow! Sodalite. So cool! I would also like to commend both of you for a clean language video. Many people use curse or slang curse words as an everyday part of the way they speak & communicate. To me it is totally unacceptable. I really, really like the way you respect & care about nature, the animals you encounter & the environment; very refreshing. The moth was so beautiful. Pizza sandwich! Great idea. Grill cheese? Thanks so much for sharing the fun & rocks. Take care.
Also known as Petoskey stones

The glowing sodalite is not a Petoskey stone, which is a fossil.
@@daynepalmer2148when you try to seem smart but endd up looking dumb 😂😂
I am 72 and have lived a great life so far. i definately get what you are doing. Rock On!!!!!!
What a gorgeous hawk Sphinx moth!!!
Hyalophora cecropia moth
@@The1BlackKrow that’s what I was going to say also😀
Oh to be young again, exploring nature and lovin life. I’d forgotten about all these experiences..thank you!
I'm impressed. Not only do you find cool fossils and minerals but you take some decent photos too!
Bit disturbed never seen glowing rocks toads or spiders n the weird red stuff concerning
Wow, wow!
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
I can imagine a planet that has yooperlites and a natural UV light source that makes them glow, you just know it has to exist. Never thought rocks could be so interesting and cool, now I know, great video.
That moth is crazy beautiful, and was worth the whole video! BUT the yooperlites were outstanding! So glad you guys had such a great trip; thanks for sharing it with us!
I grew up camping and I was the designated “pie maker “ the fire 🔥 square pie 🥧 makers you have is the best way to eat ! You can make grilled cheese or pies with buttered loaf 🍞 bread slices and any kind pie filling you want ! FYI grilled Mac and cheese is to die for !
It's bigger than I thought it would be!
I love hearing that.
Wow! The rocks are thrilling. I bred a family of rock lovers. The best of y’all’s videos are you two yourselves. What a forever kinda love. I appreciate your showing the world. What the world needs now! Is love sweet love! Y’all got it. And the moth and green frog? Super
I love the UP! I travel there often! The storms are common. I had my tent poles crack during a wind storm there! A great spot to camp is Bayview Campground right on the lake. Reservations need to be made 6 months in advance to get a site! Too many super great places to camp & venture there! Copper Harbor is also fun... nevermind every place there or super! BTW we call the food you ate (pancakes, pizza) Mountain Pies here in PA!
Omg those lightening shots are beautiful and that moth was icing on the cake. I love hearing water crashing on to the shore. Thank you for sharing your adventures I loved every moment of the video.
great video!! hi Cris.!! have a good evening. i hope all is well.
That’s Flour GOLD in the black Sand !! 🥇
Exactly that, very small pieces.
Awesome video ya’ll! The fact that the moth took to you is definitely a sign that good things are coming your way!! That was so cool!! Also, the respect that you both show to Mother Nature and her creatures ( like saving the fire fly) warms my heart. People have forgotten all about what it means to have and show respect for others, including All of God’s creatures!! How cool is that to go night hunting for my favorite things.,,, Cool Rocks! Well, guys and gals, this video totally Rocked!! No pun intended… lol!!! Can’t wait to go on my first night hunt!! Be good ya’ll or be good at it!! Peace out!!
I love Bri!!!!!!
Thanks for loving Michigan and our beautiful rocks and also our glowing rocks…Come again!😍😅
There are bear up there too. They even show up occasionally in our area. 🐾🐻😜
Great Adventures Hunting Rocks. Yooperlite looks like fun hunting with UV light.
I love their love story - Bree & Chris - by God these 2 are soul mates of the highest caliber!!!!
Love the rocks and all the beautiful stuff you found, but I’m glad you got out of that storm because Lake Superior never gives up her dead…
I hope you had a great time in Michigan. Im so glad you all found Yooper lights. I live in Michigan, it's a beautiful state.
thanks for sharring...that black sand glitter is gold..thers lots of gold that gets pushed up on the superiors beach from volcanos years ago in the up..they call it placer gold...with a permit you can prospect it with a sluce box...sounds like another yooper trip for yall
You two are seriously adorable! I always smile and laugh at your silliness and antics! You two were made for each other and I wish you many years of happiness and adventures! Cris, you probably already know this, but it is rare to find a woman who is good behind the camera, in front of the camera, loves camping, rock hunting, animals and nature! All I have to say is you better put a ring on it! lol Just kidding! In all seriousness, I always enjoy your videos Cris, however, Bri brings out such a fun side of you and has such an amazing little giggle! Please keep doing what you are doing! The two people who gave this a thumbs down are idiots and don't know anything! lol Also, excellent nature shots and film editing!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
I agree! They are truly such a cool and fun couple!!!
The cinematography is on point. Good job
Thank-you Cris and Bri for taking me with you. The photo of Northern Lights, Waterfall and Lightning were incredible. I'd never seen glowing rocks before but absolutely loved them. The only moth I'd seen that large was in Las Vegas at my grandparents. I'm so happy I found you two. God bless you both. Hugs from northern California.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
You want see them because they are not like this unless you use a black light 😔
Cannot believe Iam watching a stones show and I like it 😂
More please. That fabulous moth, doesn’t nature do some stunning work.🦋
Pretty sure it was a species of Giant Hawk Moth ... In the Uk nearest would be Giant Privet Hawk Moth.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665That’s a cecropia female. I don’t see them here in Central Illinois like I used to. Saturnidae, the giant silkworm moths. I’ve hatched some out in my classroom. The image used by jusrfollowthecrumbs is a blue morpho. Featured in Papillon.
@@martinphilip8998 Thanks for the
Information. Its been a terrible summer for Butterflies in my bit of the UK... Just hope next spring summers better.🤞🏼
Cool finds. Next tie you're in the UP give me a shout. Scuba diving by blacklight is a hoot 👍
That’s actually something I’ve been dying to try out. I’ve been looking into waterproofing my lights and trying it.
@@PaleoCris I tried that with a few of mine and just decided to have a the LEDs on a couple dive lights converted. So much easier but a tad pricey to do.
That’s a good idea. I’ll definitely hit you up next time I’m up in that area.
@@PaleoCris I've been meaning to post more videos about us lights and such. Might be just the kick I need to do that. Cheers!
There's a beach up there I'm dying to go back too. Lot's of yooperlites. My son found one bigger that my open hand.
So pretty! I remember my excitement as a child in seeing an irridescent blue tide. At that age, it was magic. Glad to see you're still exploring like that!!!!
Oh my goodness, beautiful finds. I could hunt those for days. Thanks for sharing💞💫💞
Great Lake beach pebbles! More than meets the eyes!
Oh my, what beautiful stones
I love your videos. I love you and Brie together.
I’ve been going to the Northwoods of Wisconsin my entire life, I’m 51 years old now, and I have never seen a moth that beautiful or that big.
Hi how are you doing?
YO!!! Next time you go all the way to Michigan you GOTTA stop off in Missouri!!! I can take you to some unbelievable spots!!! Crystals and fossils! Crystal fossil geodes agate and more!!! Missouri will blow your mind! I’m just saying is all... always love your videos Chris 👍🏼
Would love to hear your favorite spots there! My family lives there so I get by every few years.
I'll never look at rocks like rocks again their precious gems beautiful color wow that was amazing I never knew that you can do that with a UB like wow and my daughter loves Rock thank you guys God bless you love the video watching all the way from Spain peace out
I love living here in Michigan. I'm glad you guys made the trip.
I believe that was gold you seen in the black sand 😃
So very interesting; Thank you guys.
On the Mac! Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington MI USA.
Love those yooperlites!
Probably the best couple to ever exist
Love you both videos and your humor and especially your love for nature. Thank you for not using dirty words.
Some great looking pieces, those yooperlites are quite remarkable.
Those stones are beautiful let up at night like that I hope you kids had a really good time by the looks of it you did you made it home safely which is a good ride take care stay safe love you both God bless
Love it. I'll be watching more for sure
19:56 wow that one looks like a moonstone in uv light!
I just got back from lake superior with whole bunch of rocks, but that uv flashlight 🔦 technic shows amazing work of nature....
I used to make sandwiched like you had and sometimes I'd add salami. My kids loved them. I also made grilled cheese and ham. I love your enthusiasm.
Great pictures . Fun video to watch. Interesting rocks to enjoy taking back to Fla.
Ya should have tried the PASTIES!
SOOOO GOOOOOOD !
Bears are pretty friendly
Nice camping trip/adventure, reminds me of good times. Thanks for posting.
Well, that evoked "Silence of the Lambs" vibes. I thought the shark tooth in the tent was pretty funny because that's what happens to me with everything, except petrified wood. 21:59 made the whole trip worth it - that's incredibly bad-ass. Thank you, Bri, for the recipe idea!
Great hunt! Love the rocks! Love the Moth! She was beautiful! Cool froggies too. I look forward to all of your videos! Keep 'em coming!
It's Mothra! I think she is after your warm breath, so don't get too emotional. That looks like a great way to cook different sandwiches, I must check them out. Eating while camping can't be beat. Around Lake Superior you can find Gold where there is black sand. And there are a lot of glowing rocks there on the beaches as well. So, you might want to check that area out as well. Great fun looking at all the rocks, and great video coverage too.
After watching this video I picked up a UV light for our next camping trip. We have an RV and one of favorite campgrounds is on a rocky beach on the south shore of Boston, MA. In about 30 minutes I had found about 10 Yooperlites. While they do not have large orange spots, they are covered in little spots. We are still here and I'm headed out again tonight with bug spray this time!
Just remember the uv light has to be the correct frequency to pick up the rocks!
@@Expert50 Three nights of looking on about a 1 mile stretch of beach, I found a five gallon bucket full. The biggest one was about 12 pounds.
I bought a very expensive uv light and searched for a week and didn’t find a single one !! Or a pasky!
@@Expert50 what frequency?
@@toneloc415 365-370nm is the best for picking up rocks and urine stains ect !
Never shine it in anyone’s eyes !
I forgot how much i like geological wondersssssss. Cheers for the channel
Love your camping videos 🤗 Thank you so much for taking us with you. The waterfall was beautiful, the thunderstorm set a spooky Dogman mood and the treasures you both found were too cool! 🥰❤️
I love the pictures you took and those rocks make me want to make a trip to Michigan.
The upper peninsula near Grand Marais has the best rock beaches, but as Cris mentioned some of the beaches are in a national park area which forbids rock collecting. There are lots of beaches which you can roam, especially in the Keweenaw peninsula.
@@lindaeads7536 Thanks, but I'm disabled and my legs just wont let me rock hound anymore. :(
What a superb moth!! 😍🤗🥰
We put cherry pie filling in our Hobo pie maker. There the best. Y'all need a t-shirt that sez " I want to hold your Rock !" 🤜🤛🤟
Love those rocks. Nice photos as well!
Love all the wildlife and scenery and rain! Glad you finally got to look for your gems. You made me wish I’d looked for them while living there. 😊
Yooperlites! The've been on my wife and I's bucket list for quite a while. We found out about them at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show several years ago. We had the chance to go and look for some on out own this summer. We found seven, it was great fun!
I bet you would love jasper Beach in maine. It's amazing, even just the sound of the water rolling the rocks on the shore is amazing.
It's in Machiasport Maine in case you wanted to look it up.
Those pics and moth amazing.
You need to connect with CZcams Michigan Rocks. He could show you some great Michigan finds.
Omg! Love your guys enthusiasm on rocks, nature and camping (I love them too!!) And thanks for introducing yooperlite! What a gorgeous radiating sodalite stone!! Keep smiling and laughing! Lots blessings, Carol😁
We just added a ton of these glowing rocks to the shop on my website! paleocris.com/product-tag/emberlite/
Thanks for watching this video!
I find jasper and unikite here in Florida too where they've brought in gravel to pave the limerock roads in my Neighborhood ❤💯
Love your videos, cooking, and rock collection I have never see rocks like that, really enjoyed watching ur whole video, I felt I was there with you 💖
So great! I never knew about glowing rocks. At first I thought it was maybe uranium deposits within but then, you found blue and red. And then, the theory of bioluminescent algae seeping into the pores of the rock and because those on the shores stayed wet, the algae lives. I want to know if they continue to glow after they dry out. I know I will be checking all my rocks with my black light now. I came for the rock video but, I am equally impressed with the frogs, bugs and moths you featured. The lightening was cool too. Also, your cooking features are helpful. Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable video! Kudos! 🙂🤩😍
Bree I love your caring for the wildlife. What kind of moth was that. What an experience. Love all your finds. You both are incredible. Safe journey home.
It looks similar to an atlas moth but it doesn’t have the same four triangle pattern on its wings
As cool as the rocks were, the moth was everything!
Love this video 😊 Where exactly were you on the beach at night ? It’s on my bucket list to find yooperlites! Hope to trip it to MI in the next year
Great video. That cecropia moth was an awesome find 😎I'll have to try those cheese pizza sandwich things next time i'm camping 🤔looked rather tasty.
Nice, nice I wanna hold it!! Sounds like my husband when he comes across a new gun he doesn't have!! 😂
Beautiful photography dude, didn't know you were a shutterbug. Bri is a sweetie too, likes rocks, fossils, skulls, etc.
Those glowing rocks are amazing 👍💕💕
I’ve never heard of or seen these luminescent rocks before. So fascinating. Never even heard of a UV torch! And that HUGE moth! Oh wow wowwow. I’m nearly 66 years old and you never stop learning. Thank you for this excellent video.
Love your videos! Just went to Florida and did pretty good fossil hunting. If you two want to come up to Michigan I can give you a great rock hunting tour. Copper, silver, datolite, many, many, other amazing stuff. And gold! Room and board provided! I'll trade you for a fossil hunt down in Florida!
Oh my, the glowing rocks are fantastic! I am so sorry about the stormy weather but you still scored big time. Your shark tent tooth find was great too. Please stay safe and be careful! ❤
this video was nothing but CRAAAYYYZZEEEE...
Thats my lake thanks for loving it. I grew up on that water an its not cold. Just kidding safe travels....
Awesome yoopers! That huge moth and the glowing spider were incredible!
Always have to plan for the weather
Wow, what incredibly fun finds and great photos of your adventures!
LOL yup .... yipee I will always be amazed at how people get so excited about these. BIG DEAL! NEXT! They are ALL over the Great Lakes area.
AH... PURE MICHIGAN, my happy place UP north. Did you listen to the Dogman song...lol a little history for you, the Dog man started out as an April fools joke from the COUNRTY radio station WTCM in traverse city but became such a great part of Michigans Folk stories, its now usually played in October. Great pics of the lightening! Last year when we were camping up there my boys were sleeping in hammocks, but a storm rolled in and they moved to the tent.. lightening struck one of the trees the boys had been tied too🤪..... good thing they moved to a tent..we also had a bear about half mile from us..lol did you see any bears?
Nice to se a real Rainbow for a change!
This reminds me so much of my family camping trips while growing up; from the crazy fiascos and rain to the rock hounding, waterfalls and photography. That moth was amazing, also! I hope the ticks weren't too bad. I couldn't stop thinking about them while you guys were collecting firewood.. eek. Lol.
I would have picked up that first rock just because, I thought it was cool to begin with... I never knew about glowing rocks before.. SO COOL!! THANKS! LOVE your videos!
That is so awesome!!
Love the rocks and all the beautiful stuff you found!!
Good job guys!!
Have good continuity and I'm looking forward to the next video!!
Stay safe!!
Love it more videos please thank you both so much
Awesome video
So awesome.. what an amazing g way to spend a vacation..wow
SCIENCE!!!! Thx for sharing and making it fun.
Great stuff guys!! Informative, entertaining and fun to watch both of you doing your thing... and doing it well!!
