About Pietersite  –

 

Pietersite is a brecciated relative of tiger's eye, where fibrous blue and gold quartz swirls in every direction like a storm cloud. Turn it under a lamp and the shimmer ripples across the surface.

 

It formed when fibrous tiger's eye and hawk's eye material was broken up by earth movements and then re-cemented by quartz and chalcedony, with some fibres partly altered to iron oxides.

It was discovered in Namibia by Sid Pieters, who registered it in 1962, and the original Namibian deposit is now largely worked out.
