{"product_id":"yooperlite-tower-point","title":"Yooperlite Tower Point","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis yooperlite tower is a polished six-sided point in speckled gray, white and peach, standing upright on a flat base. In daylight it looks calm and natural. Under a UV flashlight, orange patches glow all the way up the tower like sparks rising in a fire. At 80-100mm tall it is a great size for a desk or crystal grid and an affordable way to own a glowing stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural yooperlite (syenite with fluorescent sodalite), part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/uv-reactive-crystals\"\u003eUV reactive crystals\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80-100mm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished six-sided tower point, from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/crystal-towers\"\u003ecrystal towers\u003c\/a\u003e collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV reaction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glows orange under longwave UV light (flashlight not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you receive:\u003c\/strong\u003e One yooperlite tower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Random Pick: chosen from current stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural variation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speckling and glow pattern are unique to every tower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChakra Connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn crystal tradition, yooperlite is linked to the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sacral-chakra-crystals\"\u003eSacral Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-plexus-chakra-crystals\"\u003eSolar Plexus Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e, where its hidden inner fire is tied to creativity, motivation and confidence.

The sodalite in yooperlite fluoresces orange to yellow under longwave UV light, usually around 365nm. In normal light it looks speckled gray.

It became famous after glowing stones were found on the Lake Superior shoreline of Michigan in 2017, and similar material, often called flame stone, is now also mined elsewhere and cut into carvings and shapes. In daylight it looks like speckled gray granite. Under longwave UV light, the sodalite lights up in bright orange and yellow, which is the easiest way to tell it apart from ordinary gray stone. Its stone takes a smooth polish, making towers a great way to see the glow climb from base to tip.
