At least scorpions and centipedes glow under the UV so you don't pick them up. Too bad bird poop glows as well 🤣😂🤣

Omg that’s terrifying 🙈

You needed a bee keeper outfit. 🤣 I came for the glowing rocks, stayed for the bird poop. 🙂. Thanks for the video!

It was quite the adventure! 🤣

Years ago, I went through a bug/moth phase and I would set up a black light on a white sheet at night to attract all the cool bugs and moths, so I'm guessing yes, bugs are attracted to UV.

"Is that bird poop?!" almost choked on my drink laughing! I've had the uvBeast for 3 years now. Great for rock (bugs) hunting!

You just never know what you can find in the dark with a uv light in hand. Thanks for sharing. You should tumble a batch of reactive rocks to see how they finish and how the uv looks when they arr done. Watch out for bugs. Thanks for braving them for us.

Cool video! I'm headed up the UP of Michigan in a few weeks to find some fluorescent syenite (which some affectionately call "Yooperlite") along the lakeshore! They glow with a bright orange under UV, and it looks like they're filled with lava! (And there's no mistaking their glow for bird poop 🤣) So excited

Would love to see this batch polished and under uv light again

Opal fossickers in South Australia use UV flashlight to spot opal chips in the mullock heaps. Opal actively reacts allowing them to tell it apart from the clay / host rock.

Oh thank you so much for one of the best laughs I’ve had in a while…..you snorting and choking on bugs 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Oh and the rocks were pretty too.

Weather permitting my 8 year old daughter and I will be walking the corn feild with a UV light this weekend. Cheers from Wisconsin

Great video! What you're showing is fluorescence in the minerals. Another cool property you might be able to show is phosphorescence. If you expose the mineral to the shorter wavelength light, as you are doing, then turn off the uv source and don't turn on the regular lights immediately, you might see the phosphorescence. The minerals can absorb the shortwave light and reemit it at a longer wavelength. It will also reemit the light over a longer time than just the time it's exposed to the shortwave light. Basically the mineral will glow in the dark with both the shortwave and the regular lights turned off after being charged by the shortwave. Also, some basic bug repellent might be warranted at that collecting location.

Oh wow! I might have to try that!! Haha big repellent is probably a good idea 🤣

It’s so interesting, I’ve been fascinated with uv reactivity lately and today I found out one of my rocks does absorb the wave length. It was so cool

Ariel see you had so much fun keep the light away from your face it’s the light that attracts the bugs 🐜 you had fun anyway least you didn’t lose your sense of humor thank you very amusing video hope to see ya again

I didn't know so many regular rocks could just glow like that. I totally would have worn bug spray. Hindsight is 20/20. I was saying the same thing you were, "is that bird poop?" Lol It was!

Im sorry that you're afraid of bugs. I'm so interested in them. You know, kind of like how youre interested in rocks. But anyway, the glowing rocks are so cool. Orange is my fav color. So, I'm going to hunt for orange rocks now!

😂 bugs, and wait for it...bird poop 💩 😅. Try some of your collection. Florite is very nice. Some rocks are pink, red yellow and green.

There would have been no way I could make it through the beginning trying to talk with all those bugs flying around! I'd be too afraid of them flying into my mouth 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Ariel! I’ve got a question! I found a grey/black rock that has some type of clear eyes in it? I’ve tried looking it up but can’t find anything like it? Any feedback? Or thoughts?

I would have washed the rock, too to be sure.
