{"product_id":"yooperlite-wolf-carving","title":"Yooperlite Wolf Carving","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis yooperlite wolf is carved standing proudly on a rocky outcrop, head lowered and tail sweeping behind, as if watching over its territory. The speckled gray stone gives it a natural wild coat, and under a UV flashlight the wolf and rock light up with fiery orange spots. At about 75mm tall it fits nicely on a shelf or desk and makes a powerful gift for wolf lovers and collectors.\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 About 75mm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand carved wolf standing on a natural rock base, from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/carved\"\u003ecarved crystals\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 wolf carving\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, glow pattern and small carving details vary by piece\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.

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 gray, speckled body suits wildlife carvings beautifully, especially wolves.
