This is Yooperlite or fluorescent sodalite. It’s only found in Michigan typically on the shores of Lake Superior. This gray stone illuminates under a black light. It never ceases to amaze me what the Earth creates (and even cooler that this stone is found solely in the US.)

As feared, local Escanaba historical landmark House of Ludington a ‘total loss,’ 😞 www.uppermichiganssource.com/2025/12/06/h...
House of Ludington a ‘total loss,’ according to the building’s manager
What caused the fire Friday morning is still unknown, but the result is a collapsed ceiling, inaccessible stairways, major structural damage and flooding.

I'm hoping to add these jelly blocks to my classroom! These are sensory-rich, tactile materials that support fine motor skills & open-ended building, offering a calming, quiet activity for students who may feel overstimulated.

I fondly remember when it was the job of federal workers to not terrorize American citizens in their communities. 🤬
A 22-year-old woman was chased back to her home by 6 masked ICE agents in Louisiana but backed down after being confronted by her stepfather.
