Yooperlite Tower - H

Yooperlite is a trade name given by mineral dealer Erik Rintamaki to Syenite rocks with fluorescent Sodalite. It was first found around Lake Superior in 2017. These pebbles have been naturally rounded and smoothed as they were thought to be carried via glacier from Canada to Michigan where they can now be found on the shorelines of the lake. At first glance, they look just like regular rocks but with a UV light, their secret is revealed! There have been recent discoveries of similar Syenite with Sodalite in China where larger and elaborate carvings are being made and sold as Yooperlite or Fire Stone. However, due to the trade name, formation, and location, only Syenite from Michigan and Canada can be called Yooperlite.
