YOOPERLITE

First discovered in 2017 along the Michigan shores of Lake Superior by acclaimed rockhound Erik Rintamaki, Yooperlites are a syenite rock that contains highly fluorescent sodalite, causing them to glow a bright, campfire-coal orange when using a long-wave ultraviolet light. The name itself comes from the local term for the inhabitants of Michigan’s wild and beautiful Upper Peninsula. These people are commonly referred to as “the yoopers”, for which the material is named. The stone may look like your average water eroded syenite rock, but it has beautiful magic hidden within. They are not generally considered rare, but are uniquely identifiable by their fiery, fluorescent appearance.
