Yooperlite Sphere

This yooperlite sphere displays a neutral gray to off-white base with scattered black and brown mineral inclusions throughout the polished surface. Under normal lighting, its appearance is earthy and understated, with a classic stone aesthetic. When exposed to UV light, vivid neon orange fluorescence ignites across the surface, revealing glowing patches and speckles that create a dramatic and captivating visual contrast. This unique transformation makes the sphere both visually intriguing and highly collectible.

Locality
Yooperlite is a fluorescent variety of syenite containing sodalite, first discovered along the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. While it resembles granite in daylight, its sodalite content causes it to glow bright orange under ultraviolet light. Yooperlite is prized for this rare fluorescent property, and each piece displays its own distinct glowing pattern.

Shape and Size
This piece is a polished crystal sphere measuring approximately 2 inches in diameter. Crystal spheres are associated with balance, unity, and the even flow of energy in all directions. Its size makes it ideal for display shelves, desks, meditation spaces, or as a striking focal point—especially under UV light.

Metaphysical Properties
Yooperlite is often associated with self-expression, emotional release, and inner truth. It is believed to help bring suppressed emotions to the surface, encouraging honest communication and emotional clarity. Many people work with yooperlite to support confidence, personal growth, and illumination—both literally and energetically—making it a powerful stone for transformation and awareness.
