Yooperlite Tumble

Yooperlite Tumble

Yooperlite is a unique type of rock found in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that fluoresces under UV light. These tumbles are not only visually appealing in regular light, showcasing the natural beauty of the stone, but they also reveal a captivating glow when exposed to UV light. 

Yooperlite is a new crystal that was recently discovered in lake Superior near Michigan, USA in 2017. At first glance, it looks like a regular stone, but when you put in under UV light it glows like it was on fire! Yooperlite rocks are actually Syenite rocks that are rich in fluorescent Sodalite. It is the fluorescent sodalite that gives this crystal that incredible orange and yellow glow under a UV light.
