Unreal spectacle in the Uranium Mine.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Uranium Ore reacts under a UV light to create this beautiful "Glow in the Dark" effect inside the Uranium mine. Looks like it is alien or out of this world! It was so amazing the first time, I had to go back. The glow in the dark Uranium caves. Actually Uranium mine, and it glows in the dark with the aid of a UV (invisible) light. Because the uranium ore is a fluorescent mineral. But WOW is it amazing in there.

10,000 comments about how annoying the Geiger counter was, I want more! Thank you for an amazing video. My 11 year old son and I have been playing with fluorescence of rocks and minerals. It keeps him interested, and he loves showing his friends.
I actually enjoy the sound of the Geiger counter lol. Seeing this video really makes me wanna start collecting fluorescent rocks now ☺️ great filming Dan thanks for taking us along. Also that lazer beam seam you highlighted was probably my favorite part of the video, it looked so cool.
I think the Geiger counter is such a great thing to have to show that it really is radioactive. And to show the hottest spots. Great vid!
What a way to light up Christmas! And it's all natural!
A new wrinkle , Vanadium , associated with a granite pegmatite . I wonder what the beryllium content is ?
Beryl plus Vanadium ( and / or Chromium ) = the possibility of Emerald .
Vanadium is fairly commonly associated with Uranium and Thorium , although it might have been picked up as an interaction between the Granite body and any Mafic / Ultramafic country rocks .
I am also curious to know how much of that brilliant green fluorescence is actually Autunite , and , how much ( if any ) , might be Hyalite from weathering of feldspars ? This is a common feature of many granite pegmatites.
Yes , white granites are typically rich in Uranium , and , Radon is a product of Uranium's natural decay chain .
Black shales are often also rich in Uranium , and therefore , also Radon .
If you ever feel the need to get banned from a home improvement store , bring in a detector and check their granite countertop samples , lol .
They should give discernable counts above background , and might start a panic , given the typical ignorance of the public about such things .
Hmmm! Now that sounds like a plan for my next trip to Home Depot! 👍😁
Dan, these collab videos you guys are doing are really great for any number of reasons, and I'm glad y'all share so much chemistry (pun intended) with each other cuz the content you all make is great, little pictures from different perspectives. Thanks so much, the UV light at the end w/ the 80s-esque electronica was perfect!
Tres cool! All the hallmarks of a lost episode of Star Trek. Weird vegetation, Martian landscape, high tech scanners, caves of glowing rocks, weird elements we've never heard of, even some tritanium. Just warning, don't step in any Gorn poop.
Along the obvious applications Uranium also has a bit of forgotten use to colour glass and ceramics. I found a piece of Vaseline glass on and old dump which contains SodiumdiUranate, it glows bright yellow/green unther UV light. The romans already used Uranium as a brown/orange glaze and from the late 19th century up to 1940 Vaseline glass was produced. Nile Red made a youtube on making Uranium glass.
You Tuber "Radioactive Drew" collects radioactive glass and dinnerware.
The sound of the geiger counter is awesome. People just like to complain 😂
You got my 'subscription many years back. Now it's all just fun.
Those colours are amazing.
glowing caves with Dan Hurd nice
I love the different colours.. i want some glowy rocks now thanks 😊
All of your videos are amazing, I like when you are with Jason and Harry. All of you are very interesting and know your stuff ! Thank you for sharing.
Thats why there have always been miners. Its not just your typical precious metals that are mined. Just about every product you purchase has minerals that were extracted by mining. Great video Dan. Merry Christmas to everyone!
Whoa,Whoa,Whoa.What?This is in CALIFORNIA!!!!!!
Your definitely on a list
It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Really cool!
I collect uranium glass. I would live to have a piece of rock that glows.
dan's web page !
Like a dark ride at an amusement park but the real deal. Cool!
It's very interesting how the different minerals glow a different color
im a collecter of different mineral and radioactive specimens. one day id love to actually explore one of these mines
Welcome to Cali guys....good to have you here, this was a super cool segment....keep rockin the minerals, Dan.
That dark or is definitely uraninite I’m jealous. I’d love that sample.
This is so cool, love it!
I found this video extremely informative! I always learn something watching your videos but this was a cornucopia of information. Very cool!
Wow. What a cool place. Tnx for showing
Reminds of of when you could buy rockhounding sample boards as a kid in the 60's. Piece of cardboard with various bits of crystals and such glued to it. Including a chunk of radioactive ore.
I still remember mine.
Very cool!
Great video Dan I really enjoyed the information on the vanadium which I have some experience with while working in a steel mill, we used the vanadium for alloying the steel mostly when making tool steels.
Some things you look for I've never heard of. But I enjoy learning about it with you.
Really cool stuff!!
Thank you Dan for making videos that brighten my day. With so much darkness in my life, I enjoy your videos tremendously. Every video makes my day a little better as I slowly die. Thanks again Dan for you are a great part of my day to day life.
Thanks for the. Trip. Great information and education.
Amazing colors especially that blue. That was neat to see. Cool stuff brother.
stunning!
Cool to see you found vanadium. Stryten Energy in Georgia usa is working to develop Vanadium flow batteries . Once these batteries are perfected I would expect that metals value to spike. Great work Dan
AWESOME! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Very useful and informative guys...God Bless You Merry Christmas and happy New year..🇮🇩
FASCINATING!
That cave looks so cool when you shine it with that UV light! I've explored a lot of Uranium mines, but I've never seen one glow like THAT!
The videos with Jason and harry are so great I love the collab videos
I watch ALL of your channels never stop
Very cool. Merry Christmas Eve
Very educational
"Absolutely mesmerizing footage inside the Uranium Mine - a true spectacle of the surreal and otherworldly! 🚀 #UnrealBeauty #UraniumMineAdventures"
Very cool video!
So cool!
I like the sound of the Geiger counter.
Dan another great year of videos! I wanted to wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!!!
Great video
Nice one🎉
Hmmmm.... you may have just given me an idea. Cheers Dan!
Awesome sir six stars
Merry Christmas Dan to you and the family...
Though that was you shopping at superstore. Couldn’t recognize you without the hat haha. Noticed the hoody and beard.
Great content!
Wished I knew you were in my state!! I'm in the north central area in Chico, north of Sacramento, but south of Redding. 😅 A gold community of it's own.. and then some. Beautiful area, lots of agriculture and history. 🤠
Happy Holidays... 🎄☃️🌟🎁❄️
Relax folks, it U238 non fissile and not U235 fissile grade. Dan might glow in the dark now but he won't explode.
Very Interesting stuff.
My day loved this kind of stuff. Must be why he named me ytterbrium Bremsstrahlung
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to Harry, Jason and the rest of the gang as well!
U235 is the isotope used in bombs. It constitutes less than 1% of natural Uranium, is more radioactive, and can sustain a chain reaction. Separating it from its less-active U238 cousin was a *huge* "deal" during the Manhattan project. These days, they use gas centrifuges, but initially, in a secret project at Oak Ridge, they ran massive numbers of "Cal-U-Trons" which were basically mass-spectrometers that were "tuned" to slowly separate the two isotopes. They had dozens and dozens of these machines, and they'd have to cycle the output back on itself many many times to get adequate separation.
Not to mention the science and precision it took to get it to critical mass to even have a fission reaction

Merry Christmas from the Netherlands
👍👍… Merry Christmas everyone and to Dan and his family 🤝🍻🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christm Dan! From the Gossen subdivision at Gossan Cr.
Dan, the secret of white light LED's is that the actual LED is a high efficiency ultraviolet LED and it is surrounded with phosphorescent elements that glow and produce the actual white light you see. Turn it off and you will see the phosphorescent material continue to glow for a short time.
Time for a new hat Dan. Or is that the new air conditioner setting?
Merry X-mas and a happy new year from Zion Il.
Merry Christmas to you and your family🎄✨🤶🎅
you r very entertaining and make great videos like the video collaborations like the others and your dad keep up the good work my friend
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever, it's spreadin' all around
With a Geiger counter in my hand
I like the Geiger counter sound.
Those barrel cactus with the red spines you filmed are amazing, they get really HUGE beautiful flowers that are typically ultra dark red or insanely bright yellow and often upwards of 7 inches across when fully opened. I need to get a new cactus sometime. It'd be funny to grow some San Pedro cactus but I'd be too tempted to use it as more than a plant.. and I think I'll stick to weed for that thank you. (I don't need a 4 hour dose!) Something that fluoresces that same blue is scheelite.. tungsten ore which is commonly found around rare Earth minerals and uranium. (I did research since the last video.. I'm autistic, I can't help it.. I research anything that interests me)
"Dust is bad"
Three hours later..
"It's beautiful!"*drags feet*
Dan, Pronunciation lesson of the day...its nuc lear!!!!!!!
If I said it wrong, my apologies, and remember people from different areas say things slightly differently,
The Relative Biological Effect is a calculation used to determine cellular damage due to exposure to ionizing radiation ☢ The damage factor for waveform radiation is 1, while the damage factor for PARTICULATE radiation (dust) is 10.
From an old Radiographer... ☢👊🇨🇦
Merry Christmas!
Yes dan hello from Stratford upon Avon uk
I would love to be able to afford a bunch of the rock to set up in a aquarium with a black light,to have that beautiful color at night.
Live nysic with glowing rocks. Learned to thanks
Niiiccce!
Very cool video. The dark material with the fluorescing blue spots resembles some cleiophane I have seen. I would be curious to know what the assay said.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. I'd bet there's a bunch of that stuff on Fort Peck .
Your average Pink salt has trace Uranium to! Why it taste so good imo!
Lol, these colaboration thingy's are starting to look like the gospels of mining.
Some geiger counters have a more pleasing sound. The lower pitched ones are less annoying. This one is particularly high pitched, so i can see why people might have complained. The handheld GQ geigers have a decent click sound.
One would be wise to wear a breathing maske in an environment filled with uranium dust.
Nah, how else is a person going to achieve that "healthy glow"?
My Dad, had worked in a uranium mine, in Elliot lake ,Ontario ,Canada. he was told that they used aluminum powder to keep the dust down! No masks were used in the fifties and early sixties.
So my granite countertop would set off a Geiger counter? The Uraninite looks like something from Pandora.
Autinite be remembering that ores name? ^_^ Great video, super enjoyed the hosts and the content. Thank you!
Vanadium is used in special alloys.
Finally got to view this 'glow in the dark, gieger counter vibrating, cool' uranium mine video, Dan! Awesome to see Harry and Jason there, too. Your GLOTD and explanations are very educational. However, radioactive anything, isn't for me. And now that I know about granite countertops being mildly radioactive, not for me thanks. I guess I feel this way because I know of a couple people who got very ill from exposure to radon and near "minor" nuclear situations. My uncle actually got exposed and didn't live long. But, I love seeing the brilliant colors and learning so much about why they glow different colors.
I probably rambled on above, without much sense. I'm exhausted from being up 4 days and 3 nights straight. Please forgive me. Merry, peaceful, joyous, prosperous and love-filled Christmas to everyone! 🎄☃️ I'm sending my usual gift of blessings and hugs from Alabama ❤️
Would love to see a video on how Pitchblende is mined!
6:18 I'm not a scientist so I can't explain the reason, but for fluorescence to take place, a certain balance of mineral levels must be there. For example, willemite (troostite) requires a few percent manganese in order to fluoresce. If there is too little or too much, it will have weak fl or none at all.
So, that's where you get the energy (inspiration and radiation) to make your videos. What do you suppose is the half-life of your glowing personality? You have captured a major geological and mining thrill to share. Amazing!
I'm surprised you didnt find any scorpions while flashing the uv light around in the cave or in the desert Dan.
Another great productions, seasons Greetings to you and the Family from the YVR.
Petition to use the phrase "minerals of rare earth". Same meaning because of how English works, less confusion about which adjective goes with what.
"Earth" means "ore" in this context, and "rare earth" means the ore has low concentration of the relevant element (is "rare" in its "earth").
Leave the Geiger sound on when it ticks louder we know we got the good stuff! Love the video..
