I have the Darwin on my wishlist. It'll be a while, but I'll get it. Thanks for a wonderful video! I'm sure you've sparked a lot of interest in your subscribers to check out more geology and chemistry. It's good stuff! P.S. the silvery swirly trailing & whistling fireworks have always been my favorite. They're pretty rare these days, though. Everyone wants the smiley face and hearts. (Old school fireworks are still better)
Witherite or bariumcarbonate for green color. Strontianite for red en purple colour. Stibnite or antimoney for white glitter effects and in flash comps. Realgar or arsenicsulfide for white effects(oldschool). Celestine or strontiumsulfate for red strobes/glitter. Hematite or iron oxide for glitter and thermite . Malachite or coppercarbonate for blue and purple. Other minerals have to be chemically reduced to its elemental state for use in firework compositions. Like aluminium, magnesium, titanium from their ores.
Fun trivia: There's an episode of Star Trek where capt Kirk gathers those ingredients to make a thing to kill a monster creature. The pyrotechnics guy from greeley Co retired. My teen says it would be quite an interesting career. Probably lucrative and fun 😂
Sodium lamps usually have that weird orange glow as well... good for low power usage but not great for sight 😅 I was always partial to the tadpole kinda fireworks, and the radio static/crackly ones.
@@mooneyfinemineral Absolutely!! Also not set the neighbor's house on fire... Our poor neighbor had to go through that 2 years ago.... Our other neighbor was drinking and playing with fireworks.... Bad combo
Affordability is a HUGE part of why I love it. It's very affordable for what you get. Will it do what $40,000 lab grade microscopes do? Not entirely. Will it do what a lot of $400 and $500 microscopes do, but better and portable? Yep.
Hey guys, on the lines of a safe 4th, please remember fireworks are an extremely stressful event for pets livestock, and wildlife. Especially dogs. I respectfully suggest going to a community fireworks show and not doing on yourself. Even if you don't have pets, you probably have a neighbor that would be grateful you don't set any off. At least, not any with loud bangs. 🇺🇸🎆🎇🐕🐈⬛🐎🐄🐂🦌🐏🐐🐇🐿🦇🦡🐓🦢🐦🐖
Someone gets it. I just kicked someone off my property a couple of days ago for this very reason. The jackass set off an M 80 and we have a house full of cats and dogs. 😡
@@faeriefire99 They seem to be. But they go on full alert over every little unusual sound. And that doesn't even take into account the feral cats that don't have the option of being safe inside their homes because they don't have that luxury.
I agree, FANTASTIC video! I'm loving your sponsor and am 🤞for a possible Christmas or tax refund.gigt (I know that's a ways off, but I also hope they keep sponsoring you!

Can you get a piece of that K2 granite in the rough, a piece that hasn't been polished?

I've got a good buddy that does it as a side gig a few times a year. Looks fun!

Fantastic video! Educational and PSA all rolled together! Great job!! 🥰🥰🥰
Gotta keep those fingies ATTACHED!

I got my Darwin late last week, and it is really cool!
NICE!
This is so cool. Beautiful minerals making beautiful fireworks. Love this. Also put that Darwin on my wishlist, didn’t realize it was so affordable.

@@mooneyfinemineral agrees 💜
Absolutely wonderful video bro! Very educational and a hint of humor.
July 4th is America's Independence Day. In Japan, where I live, July 4th is Pear Day, but it's not as celebrated as in your country😂
I like pears...

@@newshodgepodge6329 man that's awful. Hopefully they'll settle down in a week or so.
@@faeriefire99 Hopefully, especially the young ones. It's not at all helpful to trying to socialize them.

Thanks! Well, even if they don't, it's a worthwhile product.
