Meaning
What yooperlite is said to do
Where the name comes from
Named in 2017 by Erik Rintamaki, who found glowing stones on the shore of Lake Superior with a UV torch. “Yooper” is a nickname for people from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where it was found.
Its hidden glow has made it a stone for finding light in dark times, and a favourite with children.
