Yooperlite Freeform - 2-2.5 inch

This Yooperlite Freeform is a polished, free-shaped piece of grey stone with smooth, rounded contours. In ordinary light it looks like an unremarkable grey rock, but under an ultraviolet lamp it glows vivid orange across the surface. It is an organic, hand-friendly form that hides a dramatic feature.

Yooperlite is commonly associated with clarity and heightened intuition, and its glow makes each Freeform an engaging display and gift piece. Its rounded shape sits well in the hand or on a shelf as a talking point.

Because these are natural stones sold as a lot, each Freeform is individual, and the size, pattern, and strength of the glow will vary from piece to piece. An ultraviolet light is needed to see the glow and is not included.

Geological Information
Yooperlite is a fluorescent sodalite-bearing syenite, an igneous rock with a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6. Grey to tan in ordinary light, it glows vivid orange under ultraviolet light due to sulphur-bearing sodalite inclusions, and the glow is only visible under UV. It was identified and named in 2017 by mineral hunter Erik Rintamaki, the name deriving from "Yooper," the term for residents of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and it is also marketed as Emberlite. The fluorescence is natural and intrinsic to the sodalite, and no ultraviolet light source is included. Origins: the Lake Superior shoreline of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Ontario, Canada, where the stone is naturally tumbled by glacial and wave action.
