It gets its name from a combination of "Yooper" which refers to people from the UP and "lite" which refers to the mineral composition of the rock. Yooperlite appears as an ordinary-looking grayish-brown stone when not under ultraviolet -UV- light. However when exposed to UV light it glows with vibrant fluorescent colors such as bright orange or green due to the presence of certain minerals called sodalite.
