AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Yooperlita bracelet from the USA, specifically from Lake Superior in Michigan. The beads are 8 mm spherical.
Geologically, they are igneous rocks (syenites) rich in sodalite. They look like gray rocks by day but exhibit intense fluorescence; under ultraviolet light they show a strong orange-yellow glow.
These rocks formed about 1.1 million years ago due to volcanic activity of the Midcontinent Rift System (this tectonic event nearly split North America in two).
In this process, magma rich in alkalis and low in silica cooled slowly beneath the Earth's crust, allowing fluorescent sodalite crystals to grow trapped in the igneous rock (syenite).
Customs costs outside the EU will be borne by the auction winner.
