Matt,

I’ve likes minerals and things as decorative pieces for a while and like you, have been watching youtubers go rockhounding. Would love to do some of that stuff myself but honestly not going to wander around unfamiliar areas alone to maybe find something I like and the nearest rock club to me is 2.5 hours away so Youtube it is. Lol You should look into yooperlite rocks. If I remember the videos correctly, they are rocks at Lake Superior that have fluorescents in them. They glow kind of like hot embers when you shine a long wave UV flash light onto them. I’m pretty sure that is accurate information but you should make sure I have the correct Lake and if they are located around the entire lake or just in certain locations.

Also you mentioned tumblers and things. Again thanks to youtube, apparently Harbor Freight stores are good locations to get good rock tumblers and materials at what the creators said were good prices. Those who can’t… watch youtube. lol
