Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Yooperlite and why does it glow under UV light?

Yooperlite is a sodalite-bearing syenite from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA. It contains fluorescent mineral that glows in intense orange and yellow under UV black light. This phenomenon arises from the special mineral composition of the rock, which absorbs ultraviolet light and re-emits it as visible light.

Do I need a special UV lamp to see the Yooperlite glow?

Yes, a UV black light lamp is needed for the characteristic glow of the Yooperlite. Lamps with a wavelength of 365 nm (long-wave UV) are best suited. In the dark, the stone then fully unfolds its glowing effect. A simple UV flashlight is completely sufficient for home use.
