I don’t want to get too into the weeds, however their is a ton of interesting ingredients being added to advanced batteries including fools gold for anode and fluorine and even gems to the electrolyte/ membrane for solid state batteries. What if their is something in this rock that is truly a game changer....

He’s going to be out there at 2:30 some morning and the aliens are gonna grab him and give him a good probing.
Or a Bear will eat him.

No need for that. We knew what he/she meant.
To: Eddie01
Rintamaki said Michigan State gave the rocks a scientific name: syenite clasts containing fluorescent sodalite.
...
I think he gave a fancy new name to a common rock.

The article doesn't answer my question: Does it when it's not under a blacklight? Many things do glow under blacklight. They were very common in the mid-70’s to mid-80’s.
