If you save all the dust that comes off of it.. you could use it as a filler for other rings bc of the glow it gives off. And it gives the other ring a “historical” or will increase the value due to it being stone and not powder. Just a thought :)
love this ring and the material it's made from. I'm from Michigan and I can confirm that people search for this stone on the shores of Lake Superior using black lights. Would love to find some yooperlite myself someday.
Have you seen my Yooperlite diving video? If you are into Scuba, and a fellow Michigander, check it out. I'll be searching for more next summer along with other "students" 👌
So cool! I love making rings. Haven't made one that cool or out of rock. I make stainless steel rings. I came from water jet channel. Now I have much more to learn.
Yooperlite is just a Syenite clast with fluorescent Sodalite in it. The Sodalite is what glows under the UV light. Went and collected some of this when I heard about it.
@@natalieisagirlnow or you know I'm going to school for geology and talked to one of the people who got sent specimens when it was first found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to do tests on it and determine what exactly it was. But yes, I can in fact use Google as well.
Yesssss i love it another video, i love it when it pops up on my phone saying patrick adair designs has posted a video, i get so excited . MORE VIDEOS PLS
My only question is : did you save that Yooperlite dust?!! If it still reacts to UV light it could be really cool to use on an other rings instead of your usual glow in the dark powder!
Hi Patrick, hope you kept the dust from your carving so you could add it to resin, to see if it is just as good as the original version of the ring, as I must admit that's what I would do, as I don't like to waste anything, merry Christmas from the UK
Do you think you could make a video of making a ring with a drill press instead of a lathe? (as a challenge, but also for those who aren’t able to get a lathe or have access to one)
Incresible, that's how this ring looks like under the UV-light. Just Incredible. Could you make with the rest of the stone peace a a broken stone Resin Ring? I hope you know what I mean, because I am not very good at explaining it.
I can't find this on the website (if available). If it is I would love to have one of these just how you made it here. Simply amazing, if anything really curious where you obtained a piece of yooper like that?
Bro, go to Harbor freight tools. They have a stone polishing set of wheels under $20. They will put a natural polish shine on that ring way nicer than clear coat.
I've done some jewel crafting from regular rocks we use water sanding papers starting from 200 and going four to six different grits ending in 2000 grit and even doing those by hand with each grit taking an hour by them selves and afterward using a polishing paste (can't remember the name) to make the stone really shine
Who here gets why it's called Yooper-lite? Because here in Michigan, people in the Upper Penninsula are called Yoopers and that's where you find the rock. :3
Sandpaper is a generic term. What you have on the dremel drum is likely a woodworking Garnet sanding drum, used for woodworking but will work on stones that have a hardness below its own of 6.5-7.5. Diamond is also used in sandpaper but has a hardness of 10 so is able to cut pretty much anything. The diamond bits you are using are just a courser grit than what would be found on diamond sandpaper.
Another awesome ring! Even if it didnt glow in blacklight, it would still look awesome. I suggest trying to seek out and make a ring with some high quality molybdenite! If you havent done this yet and/or arent aware of what molybdenite is, it is most commonly found in an ore that can typically look a lot like this yooperlite, but the molybdenite itself is a brilliant sparkly glittery deep blue (doesnt glow tho). I know you could make something mind numbingly beautiful out of something like that. I have some mediocre samples of Molybdenite ore from back in my geology days of college that i obtained from the Climax mine deep in the colorado rockies. If youre interested in experimenting i can send you a rock big enough to cut a couple rings out of it. Let me know!
I can see you're a smart guy. But sanding that out, have you ever thought of collaboration with Katy Did Rocks and Michigan Rocks? They do a ton of rock sanding. Also, did you gather up all that dust and see if it glowed too? That would really be cool, if it did. I like your channel.
When's the next sale on your website, I missed the holiday one but would really love to buy one of your rings with my somewhat limited college student budget.
How about a yooperlite and glow gel ring? They way you get an after glow once you've blasted it with UV. Maybe a high contrast orange to go with that nice blue?
im making a ring out of a rock too!... but mine is just a boring pebble, not a cool glowing rock and also where can i get the diamond bits for the dremil?
I subscribed to you, I love your videos and have been inspired to try and make a ring, I don't have any tools other than a dremel and a hacksaw in an unfinished basement yet I am still making a simple ring from a hex nut of stainless steel. Do you have any suggestions for a way to finish it? I know I cant oxidize it easily with my materials, and I'm not sure if heat anodizing will work. I know there is a low chance of you reading this, but if you do can you respond with any suggestions? I am sorry to bother you with all of these questions. If you post another video before I finish the ring and haven't responded to this I will most likely ask again because this is a fairly old video and you probably aren't checking the comments anymore.
What are you going to with the waste from the rest of the blank? I make jewelry with semi-precious gemstone beads, and Yooperlite would look awesome as beads!
Man I love these videos! I just bought 2 rings...I have a question. On the stone rings you've done, is there a reason you finish it with clear vs a ca? I'm thinking about trying this with some labradorite..
Just bought a ring today !
Sad Mind don’t use his code I’ll have to pay him!!
Patrick Adair Designs don’t worry I didn’t
Sad Mind hahahaha

Lmao this conversation is gold 😂😂😂
That was a beauty of a ring, I totally agree with how nice natural materials look in jewelry.
Beautiful work.... and all by hand. Awesome material also.. had never heard of yooperlite.
Interesting to see the comparison between the sandpaper bit and diamond covered bit. Also, I think you forgot to edit something out at 6:49 :D
@Utahutes2016 Listen from 6:49 to 6:55, he says something and then starts over because he misspoke
One of these would be awesome!!
Patrick has to be the most patient and passionate person ever. Love it 👌

This has to be one of my favorite things you've done. The colors and patterns are insanely gorgeous, and the glow is just an added bonus!
Thanks Amber!
Great collab, still hoping for that Bookworm ring.
Beef Stew bro I just discovered the meaning of life through bookworm deluxe edition
Unlikely that I saw your comment on jeb the gardeners vid
I would buy it
Beef Stew lmao i just saw ur comment on the sicko bamba vid
It is so cool to see you make these rings
This material is amazing! I love how the ring turned out!
Mix the dust with resin
I was about to comment about that but I saw you already said it lol.
I didn't see it, and I've just asked it to be in resin 😆😆
@@Zeldalovesme _Wrote it*_
I enjoy the music sparks curiosity as you work on it
its fun walking the beaches here in the yoop an finding them rocks
This guy doesn’t stop flexing about his diamond bit
Yees thanks i was searching for comment like this
Thank you for posting your videos. I try to make rings out of quartz and you help me with common problems I have. Thank you for inspiring me.
You are so good at this
Love your videos so much

Beautiful ring I would wear this forever
Awesome ring

well this ring was set in stone to be amazing!!
That looks so great. I really like your videos!

Wow, I really love this ring Patrick. So gorgeous! 💍
Tina Abrahamson thank you Tina!
First thing I thought when I saw the waterjet cutting, that would make a cool ring.
My only question is : did you save that Yooperlite dust?!! If it still reacts to UV light it could be really cool to use on an other rings instead of your usual glow in the dark powder!
Best kind of glow!

I subscribed your channel even before the video finish! Really good video.
Love the music! (And the ring of course)
Very nice mate keep up the good work
Very cool
Awesome designs man
You are amazing!!
I love it, its really cool
Beautiful ring man... I'm a sub on the waterjet channel and now a new sub to your channel ... And yes I rung that little bell....
TowMaters 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 welcome!
I can't find this on the website (if available). If it is I would love to have one of these just how you made it here. Simply amazing, if anything really curious where you obtained a piece of yooper like that?
I wonder if the rock powder lights up under black light
It's a really cool ring, mysterious looking, something you'd find hanging in my room, wonder if I can get a ring like this from somewhere
You should use the dust from it
*PLZ MAKE "THE ONE RING" OF MOVIE THE LORD OF RINGS AND USE GLOW POWDER IN TEXTS OF RING* 😍😍😍😍 then I sure buy plzzzzzzzzzz
So cool!
Best designer will buy ring soon 😁
Maybe you can make a carbon fiber liner or a titanium one i think it would look super cool
And it would stabelize the ring
SO GOOD
If you make any other rings out of stone, maybe try polishing in a rock tumbler. It might take awhile but could be worth it
Hey Patrick would it be possible to purchase a set for him and her??? I need them badly.my wife saw this and fell in love with the yooperlite stone
12:30
(Rock ring) « I love ORGANIC materials like this »
HE KILLED A ROCK!
Your music is super awesome name and artist mention would be great.
another person mentioned about mixing the dust with resin that would be cool too.
ooh com'on bro you did a good job! I love it so much. Throw it here hahaha....
11:39 Thanks for my new wallpaper! :D
Awesome work I came from waterjet channel
You should come to tucson for the gem and mineral show. Thousands of vendors from all over the world selling stones and gems.
please break the rock into small pieces then collect the glowing thing with uv light and mold it with resin. love your work.
I wish to own one of them..it’s so different and natural..
Idea: stabilize a book in resin and make it into a ring
Bro, go to Harbor freight tools. They have a stone polishing set of wheels under $20. They will put a natural polish shine on that ring way nicer than clear coat.

To jest świetne do oglądania przed snem. Kreatywna treść i spokojna muzyka. Może stanie się moją rutyną :) . Jesteś bardzo utalentowany!
You should use peridot/jadeite and ruby/garnet in an inlay for a Christmas ring.
This would be my next ring if it was for sale, for sure
for future reference in boring a hole in rock, use water or do it partially submerged, if done well it shouldn't kick up too much water
is the dust uv reactive?
Nate Walkner. I was wondering the same thing. ..
I bet your lungs will glow after all that sanding!
Yes it is
It is
Yes
Who here gets why it's called Yooper-lite?

This is cool
I want to buy one so much

Could you try making a Ring out of Soapstone. The Rock is soft enough for Sandpaper. It would be nice if you could try.
Sounds like you could scrape it away with your fingernails lol
@@michagrill9432 yes, that is exactly what you could do
@@agentghostwolf7751 lol
Great Ring video ..... what did you use for clear coat ?
love it bro, wish i could afford it
Love to own this ring. Is it avalable?
When's the next sale on your website, I missed the holiday one but would really love to buy one of your rings with my somewhat limited college student budget.
Cool!
Now if only there was a way to have it constantly glowing whilst you were wearing it... UV emitter in a pendant or ring on another finger?
Did the dust glow? New material for glow powder?
How about a yooperlite and glow gel ring? They way you get an after glow once you've blasted it with UV. Maybe a high contrast orange to go with that nice blue?
Great ring. Where do you get that bottle you used at the end of video?
Hi Patrick. Was it possible to drill the center hole on the drill press with a regular drill bit? Or is it too fragile for that?
It's beautiful! But is something like this wearable, or is it too fragile for real use?
Did the dust have some glow?
Wow cool
Pretty
Could you make a ring out of acorns and resin? I think that would look cool.
im making a ring out of a rock too!... but mine is just a boring pebble, not a cool glowing rock
and also where can i get the diamond bits for the dremil?
Lapis lazuli actually glows like this material, same color of fluorescence. (As long as it has the white color inclusions in it)
Question.. will the dust also glow?
Petrified wood ? Bamboo and palm have very interesting grain depending on how you orient the grain.

What are you going to with the waste from the rest of the blank? I make jewelry with semi-precious gemstone beads, and Yooperlite would look awesome as beads!
I make spheres by hand and Yooperlites take a great fine polish. Way better than a clear coat. Check out www.yooperlites.com for my spheres.
Could the dust be used? Maybe resin?
Man I love these videos! I just bought 2 rings...I have a question. On the stone rings you've done, is there a reason you finish it with clear vs a ca? I'm thinking about trying this with some labradorite..
