This modest sphere certainly comes alive under UV light! 
 
Yooperlite is an extraordinary fluorescent syenite rock that originates in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The name combines “Yooper,” a nickname for the area’s residents, with “lite,” reflecting its radiant glow. Discovered by Erik Rintamaki in 2017, it quickly gained recognition for its unusual properties and beauty.
 
Under ultraviolet (UV) light, Yooperlite dazzles with a bright yellow-green fluorescence caused by sodalite within the stone. This striking glow sets it apart from other rocks and minerals, making it highly sought-after for collections.
 
In natural light, Yooperlite shows a diverse mix of textures and colors, lending itself well to lapidary art, jewelry, and decorative crafts.
 
Metaphysically, Yooperlite is said to radiate energy and vitality. Its glowing nature represents awakening, curiosity, and expanded awareness. Linked to the third eye chakra, it supports spiritual growth, helps clear negativity, and encourages a deeper harmony with the natural world.
