      I just went to his site and ordered a gift for my 8 year old niece for Christmas! Thank you so much for sharing this at just the right time. I let him know I saw it here first. And in future, I think I might shop your e-bay for me...;) Thank you again, and blessings on you during the holidays.

    Wow, I was just thinking about what these stones would look like when cut into! Thank you so much for showing us the inside. The owner of the shop I work at just bought a Yoopelite that was carved into a buffalo and it's so cool seeing the fluorescence in person. These are top knotch fluorescent rocks and I definitely want to take a trip to Lake Superior this summer to grab some of my own! I'm thinking of polishing some as well, to see what kind of unique patterns I can get from them! I love all that you do Bryan and truly appreciate all of you knowledge and passion!!

  • @hooters38dds
    @hooters38dds 4 года назад +10

    That was so awesome! I thought it would be amazing inside, kind of like an opal when cutting into it. They would make great cabochons or just slices for necklaces. Glad I gave you that idea to cut one open!

    I searched and understood that Yooperlites are syenite clasts containing fluorescent sodalite.
    As a doctor of gemology, I want to study about Yooperlites in near future.

    So pretty. These would make a lovely resin table. Cut many slices place them between two slabs of Plexiglas. Maybe pour some colored sand trails in between. Add some sea shell slices. Pour your resin in and when it dries add some florescent lighting underneath the table so it shines through. I just looked out my window there's a woodpecker tapping away at my tree lol

My stomping grounds are Oscoda, but I'm more than willing to make the drive up north. Please help me find these, I've been waiting so long for something to do around here.
