In 1962, while he was prospecting some farmland in Namibia, Africa, Sid Pieters discovered Pietersite.
He then recorded the find in the mineral records of Britain. Pietersite's discovery was published in
1964, with the material being named after the discoverer. Currently there are only two known sources of
Pietersite; Africa and China. These two specimens of Pietersite are similar yet different from each
other. The Chinese mineral is fibrous and magnesium-rich alkalic amphibole. The African variety is
crocidolite.
The China Pietersite is said to have been discovered in 1993, but did not make it onto the market until
1997. This specimen exhibits colors of reds, blues and golds, which are slightly different color
variations from Mr. Pieters' original mineral, those being blues, browns, greens and yellows. But both
are beautiful and are now universally recognized as Pietersite.
The material found in China was formed from a mineral very similar to crocidolite, named torendrikite.
But, regardless of the source, Pietersite will always have brecciated, fibrous bands of blue, gold and/or
red tiger eye type fibers in quartz, but found more in swirls, swathes and fibrous segments rather than
the bands and streaks. This fibrous structure has been folded, stressed, even fractured and/or broken
apart via the earth's geologic processes. The fibrous materials have then been reformed and naturally
re-cemented together by quartz. The stone and crystal specimens that go through this process are
referred to as brecciated, creating a finished product with multiple colors, hues and superb chatoyancy.
Pietersite's colors include various blues, golds and reds, that may appear together or alone. Blue is the
rarest color, ranging from a baby blue to dark midnight hue. Red is most rare. Golds can be light to very
deep and rich, sometimes having a reddish hue.
All fibrous color variations have a striking chatoyancy, the bright and subtle changing shimmer of color
that moves along the surface of a gemstone as it is viewed from varying angles.
