I Found GLOWING Yooperlite Rocks on a Lake Superior Beach in Michigan - Rockhounding

  • This was an absolutely incredible adventure! I traveled nearly 1,500 miles up into the northernmost part of Michigan in search of an incredible ultraviolet fluorescing stones nicknamed yooperlites. I met up with Bri, a Michigan native, who showed me the ropes and helped put me on some good locations, and we had a blast searching the lake shore, photographing comet NEOWISE, the Milky Way, chasing around toads, finding all sorts of cool rocks and fossils, etc.

      Me oh my! Chris, of all the videos of yours I Love this one the most. I want to go there. Hey, when you two were distracted by Mr Toad, to (our left) of him was a nice yooperlight you missed. Bri, I'm in Northern California and want to know what is the best time to go looking for yooperlites in Northern Michigan or what months to avoid? It may sound silly, but looking at those awesome stones gives me joy. I am not on facebook or instagram. Is there another way to view your art and perhaps purchase something with yooperlite? Even the name is joyful, right?
      No worries either way. Where there's a will, there's a way. : )

So many Yooperlites and not enough time. At least you had some good weather to search for them. Great video too.

    I stood exactly where you were walking in the beginning of this video. And what I was told is that you'd be in the wrong area where those rocks are found. I could be wrong. Maybe she was talking about one area specifically by her.
    Ps. While there we ran into some guy and he told us not to be walking around the woods area of the UP from dusk to dark that strange things happen after dark. He told us that you can't see your hands in front of your face and to always make sure you have 3 ways to start a fire. Which i already knew about all this. Pretty much its another missing 411 case. Be careful

      They are actually related to granite. I mean, they're cousins! Yooperlite is made of Syanite which is cooled magma with inclusions of Fluorescent Sodalite. But they hardly have any quartz in them at all. Granite is made the same way, just with no sodalite and lots of quartz.

    Grew up on the Minnesota side of Lake Superior. Those green/pink(salmon) rocks are something really only found on Lake Superior & Virginia called Unakite! I have a handful of them in my collection from walking the shores. Congrats on finding some! I recommend getting it polished if possible, the green gets really vibrant.
