Bold, unique Petersite!

Named after its discoverer, Sid Pieters, in 1962, discovered in Namibia.

Petersites beautiful, painterly brushstroke like patterns are formed by fibres of amphibole which give the stone a similar chatoyancy, or cats eye effect, as tiger's eye.

This gem has a great cut and polish, a nice large size for bigger pieces of jewellery and a patterning that is beautiful and so interesting to observe. A great addition to any collection.
