COMPOSITION, COLOR
Yooperlite consists of fluorescent sodalite-rich syenite. These stones are gray under normal light, but glow orange under UV light.

HISTORY AND TRADITION
fluorescent syenite Yooperlite - the term “Yooperlite” was named by Erik Rintamaki, who discovered these fluorescent rocks on the shore of Lake Superior in 2017.
Yooperlite Stone is found in igneous rock in the United States. It is called that because it can shine. It is also called the magic stone. The purpose of the stone is to open the future, benefit physical and mental health, and also represent wealth.Erik Rintamaki, in his work as the head of casino boxes, observed hundreds of people who hit the jackpot at the casino. But he never expected to find gold on the beaches of Upper Lake. Erik is a proud “Yooper” living on the rugged shore of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. He grew up by the lake and, even as a child, collected agates, stones, and jars full of sea glass.
He is a passionate agate collector, combing the beaches all year round, even when temperatures drop below zero. In Michigan on Lake Superior, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find agates, so he wanted to find out whether he could discover a better way to spot them. An advertisement on eBay for ultraviolet (UV) light showed glowing agates, so he decided to try searching for agates with a UV flashlight at night.
“The first three days I went out, I found nothing,” he says. “For the fourth time, I went at 4 a.m. and found a stone glowing a bright orange color. I shouted with joy!" The next day he tried to identify the stone, but had no luck searching for “fluorescent minerals in Michigan” or “orange-glowing minerals.” The website also yielded nothing.On the beaches of Lake Superior, there are other glowing stones, such as Petoskey stones, sandstone, and even limestone.But nothing that shone like what he found.He began to suspect that what he had found was indeed something that had not yet been identified. He brought samples to mineral experts Shawn Carlson and Ray Laughlin, who conducted tests at Michigan Technological University and returned with the conclusion that it was indeed a new mineral. Technically, it is a “class of syenite containing fluorescent sodalite,” but Erik wanted something easier to pronounce. While walking along the beach with his brother-in-law, he came up with the name "Yooperlite": "Yooper" for the place where they are found, and "lite" for the fluorescent sodalite that causes the glow. When Erik's discovery was announced in May 2018, things started moving.Erik started taking colleagues to the beach to show them how to find Yooperlites.A video posted by a local group that found Yooperlites went viral—with nearly 200,000 views—and people from all over the world began contacting Erik to learn about the stones.A woman from Florida saw the video, called Erik on the phone, then packed up the caravan and told her husband they were leaving in two hours."They drove straight to Michigan for two days," he says. On the first night, they took a trip along the beach; on the second night, they booked another one and have already booked for next year." Erik now leads nighttime collecting trips for those who want to experience the thrill of searching for these glowing stones. The groups meet on the beach about an hour before dusk, give each member a powerful UV flashlight, mark the beach with glow sticks so no one gets lost, and Erik teaches each individual how to find Yooperlites."These stones are magical," he says. Until you experience the magic of hunting for and finding a piece of Yooperlite, you cannot understand it.Erik makes sure that when his groups collect Yooperlites, they also pick up any trash they find. Many plastics glow under black light, so they can be easily identified. As part of its “Clean the Beach” initiative, it asks each participant to bring back at least one piece of litter. So what next? Erik already has a full-time job, but his Yooperlite tour business is taking off. His son and a friend are now helping him run the tour business. He has a trademark on the name Yooperlite.
