Needing help... Is this Yooperlite?
« on: March 20, 2024, 04:49:45 PM »

I am new to rockhounding and along my short journey thus far, I came across learning about Yooperlite. Ever since discovering it, I've wanted to get some.. My birthday was last week and I was gifted a bunch of what we all thought was Yooperlite.. That's what was ordered and what was supposedly sent. HOWEVER.. Someone on Facebook had asked if I was sure it was Yooperlite, so it has me wondering.. Is this Yooperlite or is it something else? These glow a bright pink color when I hold my magnifying glass over it with a UV light attached. Would it glow more orange if I had a stronger UV light or would that make a difference on the color? I know that it's intensity would be stronger with a better light, but I don't know about all of this.. LOL

I'm not a Yooperlite expert by any means.
That said it appears to be a Yooperlite to me based upon other images I have seen.
