In daylight it appears an understated gray — but under a 365nm UV light, it transforms, fluorescing a vivid yellow-orange-red that has to be seen to be believed. Yooperlite is the trade name for syenite rock containing fluorescent sodalite — a term widely used across the market, though technically it applies to specimens from Michigan's Great Lakes region. A genuine natural phenomenon and a one-of-a-kind piece built for table accent, gifting, or any collector who appreciates the extraordinary hidden in the ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003erare Hematite-Included Yooperlite\u003c\/strong\u003e features fluorescent sodalite set in striking red syenite — a variation that sets it apart from standard Yooperlite the moment you lay eyes on it.
