Show Notes

Found for the first time in Upper Michigan by rock hound, Erik Rintamaki in 2017, this accidental finding is SO COOL. Under UV light they look like fiery dragon eggs.

We mentioned the yooperlite store in our episode too.

There aren't any free Google pictures (sad face) So here's a LINK to pictures of the glowing rocks!!!

Also we talked about strange waves called seiches. Check them out HERE

Episode 238: Uranium Glass if you need more glowing stuff!
