This cool stone is a rare dark-gray or reddish
breccia aggregate (rock made up of fragments embedded in a matrix),
comprised mostly of hawk's eye and
tiger's eye. Pietersite from Namibia was
first described in 1962 by Sid Pieters, who named it in his father's honor. The
term "pietersite" is now used as a general term to describe brecciated
tiger's eye.
Pietersite is characterized by its
distinctive swirls or streaks of gold or
orange, due to the crocidolite inclusions
within a microcrystalline silica host. Crocidolite is the same material
responsible for tiger's eye chatoyancy. When polished, the inclusions in pietersite exhibit chaotic chatoyancy whereas in tiger's eye, the inclusions are arranged in parallel lines and give the
appearance of a continuous line.
