Finding Yooperlite

What is a Yooperlite? The Mysterious Glowing Rocks

Yooperlites are a form of sodalite-rich syenite. Yooperlite is a trade name, and we’ll touch upon that in just a moment. These stones are mainly known for fluorescing, owing to the high sodalite content in the matrix of the stones. While yooperlite sounds like a mineral name, these are actually rocks.

Is Yooperlite Rare?

Not particularly. They’re not rare, so much as they come from one specific place in Michigan and don’t seem to show up anywhere else.

Because of the relative oddity of the stone, they can sometimes command a decent price. The price has been driven down since their initial discovery since most people have no trouble finding a few if they’re searching in the right area.
