Yooperlite Moon on Stand 12.5" — UV Reactive Glow

Understated by day, absolutely spectacular under UV light — these Curator's Choice Yooperlite Moons stand approximately 12.5" total height on their included metal stand, with the stone itself measuring approximately 7.9" tall. A striking display piece that works beautifully in natural light and transforms completely when a 365nm UV light enters the picture, fluorescing a vivid yellow-orange glow that has to be seen to be believed. Yooperlite is a popular trade name for fluorescent sodalite-bearing syenite. While the name is most closely associated with Michigan’s Great Lakes region, it is also widely used in the market for similar UV-reactive material. Hand-carved and polished to highlight the stone's natural grey tones and subtle surface character, the crescent moon form makes this as much a sculptural accent as it is a collector's specimen. Each piece is personally selected as part of our Curator's Choice collection — one of a kind, and genuinely extraordinary hidden in plain sight. You will receive one Yooperlite Moon on Stand, similar to those pictured, each with its own unique pattern and coloration.
