Yooperlite Sitting Cat

Yooperlite is a fascinating and relatively recent discovery in the mineral world that has captured the imagination of crystal enthusiasts and geologists alike. Found primarily in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, this seemingly ordinary gray stone reveals a spectacular hidden secret—it glows bright orange under UV light, thanks to its sodalite content.

Metaphysical Properties

Truth & Inner Vision

Yooperlite is strongly associated with the Throat Chakra, helping individuals express themselves truthfully and with confidence. It's known to enhance communication and foster emotional honesty.

 Hidden Strength & Transformation

Because it reveals its glowing nature only under UV light, Yooperlite is often seen as a symbol of hidden strength, transformation, and inner fire. It teaches us that brilliance often lies beneath the surface.

 Intuition & Spiritual Insight

The UV-reactive glow gives this stone a mystical quality that is believed to enhance psychic abilities, sharpen intuition, and open the third eye during meditation or spiritual work.

 Emotional Release

Yooperlite is said to help with releasing anger, fear, and emotional blockages, replacing them with clarity and peace. It's a useful stone for emotional healing and grounding during times of stress.
