Product Information
About This Item
Yooperlite Tumbled Stone – Fluorescent Sodalite Syenite includes one randomly selected polished rock sold under the Yooperlite trade name for collecting, carrying, display, meditation, or symbolic ritual use. Yooperlite is a trade name for sodalite-bearing syenite rather than a mineral species, and fluorescent sodalite-bearing areas may appear orange to yellow-orange under suitable ultraviolet light; this listing has no item-level report confirming rock composition, fluorescence, treatment, dimensions, weight, collecting locality, or origin. Daylight color, mineral pattern, fluorescence intensity and distribution, shape, polish, exact size, pits, chips, fractures, and surface features vary; UV response also depends on wavelength, lamp strength, ambient light, and viewing conditions.
