Collecting Glow-in-the-Dark Calcite Crystals at Night with an Ultraviolet Flashlight
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this video, I do some night time rockhounding with a UV flashlight for a very cool fluorescent mineral called calcite, a polymorph of calcium carbonate. This mineral's fluorescence makes it easier to find at night than in the day.
I'm gonna need this in case I need to build a cellphone for my Kingdom of Science
Exhilarating!!
Lol dr.stone
10 billion percent agreed >:)
dokter stone make me search scheelite... haahhahahahahah
Suika that's a nice rock you got there.
Thought I was the only one after watching Doctor Stone xD
Glad to see my Dr. Stone fellas here 😂
Where are you? What kind of calcite is this?
Who come here after Dr.Stone??
Lol
U got me hahaha
On my cell phone!!!!
I was finding this comment
hahaha, me
Damn... Im late.
But.. SENKU!
Haha I immediatedly searched it up after watching the episode
Okay I wasn't the only one
Senku wants to know your location !!!
This was a lot of fun! Thanks for watching the video. If you enjoy videos like this, don't forget to leave a like and subscribe for more vids soon. Check out the shop at paleocris.com/ if you'd like to help support this channel.
Who else making a cellphone?
Beautiful finds. I had my eyes closed at first because I thought it was going to be loaded with spiders. When I realized I was wrong I started the video over again. Those 2 pieces you cleaned are absolutely amazing. Nice work. ✌❤😃🙏
I just found my very first calcite pieces last weekend 🤗 i love the flower one you found 👏👏👏
Supreme overload of vicarious experience while viewing this awesome collecting video.
What beautiful crystals! A very awesome video, thanks so much!
Hey Chris this was a very awesome video I enjoyed watching this one very much some more like this would be great excellent
That 'Flower' was absolutely beautiful. You and Kyle should do more crystal videos!
Hey Cris, another interesting video. Thanks for posting.
Another great, video Cris
Very cool thanks for showing us your finds 👍
I am just as blown away as you are! Its Just amazing! I share your enthusiasm Cris!
thats an amazing piece. WOW!
Looks like a lot of fun!
Oh wow, absolutely love this! And you are a brave guy to stick your hands/arms/body into those little caves, in the dark! I know you guys have poisonous snake in Florida like we do here as well as other not-so-nice animals. Kudos for bravery!
I love your excitement when you find things! That’s how I act when I find things like this too! It’d be so much fun doing that with you! ☺️
So beautiful
These things are so cool 💎💎💎💎💎
FOR THE KINGDOM OF SCIENCE !
Crap that was what we were finding all over tonight. So cool!
Awesome adventure sweet sweet finds
YABEEE!!! searching for this after watch Dr.STONE
Cool, I always thought that would be a good way to search
Great idea that UV light
So this is what Calcite is. Had to look this up out of curiosity as I am receiving the Yeezy 380 "Calcite Glow" today. 😅

Hey Cris! I know its a lot to ask, (and I know I have already asked before) but do you mind watching my fossil collection video and helping me identify some of the fossils I have? If not, then thanks anyway, and if so, thanks!
+PaleoCris Hey, PaleoCris
! What kind of UV flashlight is that? I´ve heard there are various UV wavelenghts so what kind of wavelenght does that UV flashlight have?
Amazing...
Sweet i do this too. Not as good at videos. But i find some amazing stuff
Very nice Jason! It is a lot of fun.
that’s nice.
🤜🏽✋🏽
Awesome !!!
Cool video, thanks for the lesson. What part of the country are you in and any tips on locations that might house calcite, like formations and geology? Im in far northern Cali, just past Mount Shasta and once in a while I will find some calcite on rocks or as its own, but mostly as a chunk. Rarely with some tiny cubes forming like fluorite does. I notice your in a watery area, is that normal or just the location your in. I know calcite forms in wet caves and in the sea like coral and shells and so on; but I never saw anything like that around creeks, rivers, lakes and such. Do you know of any areas by me or close in Oregon for cool finds of calcite? Thanks for your time, Chris.
Amazing
Inspiration.
WOW!!!!!!!3:52 HOLY-!!!
+A. Health & Beauty Haha, that's what I was thinking.
and mineral and gem stone classification hobby community just grew 10 billon percent
The flower crystal is like a broccoli.
I also found blue green purple pink using UV 254nm. Are they any worth? I dont have enough money after divorce.
What UV flashlight do you use? I got UV Scheelite and bought a Craftsman UV Flashlight and it didn't glow. I saw the official photos from the seller and they indeed glow but maybe I have the wrong flashlight?
You have to ask the seller what wavelength UV light is being used. In this video, I used a 395nm light, which appears purple to the naked eye. For most minerals, a 365nm UV light works way better. Your craftsman UV light is probably a 395nm.
What UV field flashlight is recommended for this kind of thing?
If you leave the large piece of calcite out in the sun for a while and then put it in the dark...does it glow? Look like calcite roses...that is a thing, right?
dr. stone anyone?
Where is this? It looks like you went to a river bank, but then you were in a sandy cave.

What amazing finds! Were those barnacles on the first piece?
Holy moly i'm 5 months late
Does it work with the cheap amazin uv lights
Where is that place
Any recommendations for certain areas to try to find some calcite?
For some reason , a lot of honey calcite is weakly phosphorescent.
If you don't want the fluorescent minerals, i would be happy to have them.
❤❤
What UV Flashlight are you filming with?
Senku
O shit I'm late
@@Eru- lmaoo
Where is this?
Neat video!! Can I get a shout out 👍
@PaleoCris Are you selling these?
What kind of light are you using?
395nm UV flashlight..Any basic UV flashlight will probably be like the one I was using here.
What happens when you soak them in vinegar or muriatic acid
+btrim1974 I plan on testing out muriatic acid on some rough specimens since it will damage the calcite...but I hear that it can help with cleaning the matrix off if you use it carefully.
So where is the tungsten stone?
😯
8:06 the calcite is growed on bone
What kind of calcite is this?
It’s a youbberlight
you need a convoy s2 with uv filter
+JurassicTactics I just got two of them...I still find the calcite a little easier to see with the 395nm lights and yellow glasses, but the filtered Convoy lights are incredible for other minerals, shark teeth, even bringing out original spots and stripes in pure white fossil shells (making a vid on this soon).
@@PaleoCris nice, yeah man. I am 4 hours away from yooperlights. i live in la crosse wi. I will be in North carolina in august looking for megalodon!
to be honest, i dont think you have calcite. That flower looks like flourite crystal surfaces
@@jurassictactics941 It's possible, man....it would be super rare here, though. Any idea where or how I can find out for sure? I'd like to update the vid title and all that if I was incorrect. Good luck in NC.
@@PaleoCris join the rockhound connection, group on facebook. they will tell you for sure 100%
Would you be willing to sell one or make trades?
You are here because of Dr.Stone.
The ibly reason this videos is getting views is cuz us scientists sre here tk help suika
