Yooperlite Bracelets

Description

Celebrate classic style and vibrant color with our yooperlite bracelets. Each bracelet is crafted from genuine yooperlite beads, celebrated for their striking appearance under ultraviolet (UV) light, revealing vibrant, glowing patterns of orange that seem to come alive in the dark. In natural light, yooperlite has a subtle, speckled grey appearance, making it an intriguing addition to any crystal or mineral collection.

Our yooperlite bracelets highlight the stone’s natural charm, with beads selected for their color, pattern, and authenticity. The smooth, polished beads are strung on strong, stretch-resistant elastic cord for a secure and comfortable fit that suits most wrist sizes. The bracelet’s vibrant color under UV makes it a standout accessory, perfect for adding a pop of color to everyday outfits or dressing up for a special occasion.

Yooperlite is loved for its versatility and timeless appeal. Each bracelet is carefully inspected for quality, from the polish of the beads to the durability of the cord. These bracelets make thoughtful gifts for anyone who appreciates natural gemstones and the ethereal glow of black lights.

To keep your yooperlite bracelet looking its best, simply wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged sunlight. This will help preserve the stone’s beautiful color and finish for years to come.

Our yooperlite bracelets are intuitively (or randomly, depending on your perspective) selected for each order, ensuring you receive a piece that’s as unique as you are. Don’t worry, though—we hand pick each piece so that only the most lovely pieces make it to our store!

Bead size: Most of our bracelets are 6–9mm.

A Bit About Yooperlite

Yooperlite is a fluorescent syenite rock found in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, specifically in the Lake Superior region. You can also find it in other regions of the world as well. Its chemical composition includes sodalite, anorthoclase feldspar, and sometimes amphibole. Classified under sodalite-syenite, yooperlite exhibits a unique fluorescent response under UV light due to the presence of fluorescent minerals like sodalite. This phenomenon makes yooperlite a fascinating and visually striking choice for gemstone décor, especially when carved into gargoyles or other decorative pieces.

Please Note:

Sizes and weights are approximate. Dimension sizes can vary based on the way the rock is formed. We hand measure our pieces on the longest side. Please see the pictures in the listing.
The colors may vary due to monitor and lighting differences.
Please use your own judgment when allowing children to handle.
Not suggested for use in animal habitats or fish tanks.
UV Notes: For gemstones, 365nm is the best for UV lighting. Only some specimens illuminate under the other part of this spectrum (370-400nm). This is why some pictures are not as clear for our UV reactive pieces. Our current lights are at 395nm. For home use, the 395nm is less expensive, but in some cases, will need a zoomed beam on the flashlight style UV lights. If you do use a 365nm light, please take care to use eye protection.
