Just got home from our trip into the upper peninsula of Michigan. We stayed in a Lake Superior coastal town named Grand Marais. While there I was fortunate enough to find several Yooperlites. Yooperlites are rather plain looking Syenite rocks that contain fluorescent Sodalite. Under UV light these rocks glow bright orange.
Hunting theses rocks at night by the light of a VU flashlight on the shores of Lake Superior was a blast. Every night several out-of-towners descended onto the rock-laden public beach with their VU flashlights in hopes of finding a Yooperlite. It was tough competition at a heavily hunted site. My third night out made the trip. After the previous two nights experience I developed a strategy and in a twist of fate I lucked out with some favorable conditions. That night I found more than I would the rest of the nights combined.
Not bad for a Yooperlite noob.
