Pietersite is also known as “Tempest Stone” because of its stunning appearance that resembles a storm. Pietersite is the trade name for this form of chalcedony with embedded fibers of amphibole minerals like Crocidolite, which give Pietersite is beautiful and striking colors. Crocidolite fiber inclusions cause a chatoyancy similar to Tiger's Eye, however, Tiger's Eye is not made of chalcedony, it’s composed of macrocrystalline quartz. The fibrous inclusions align parallel to each other, creating the optical effect of chatoyancy. Pietersite was discovered by Sid Pieters in 1962 in Namibia and named in his honor. Pietersite is also found in other locations in Africa and China.
Pietersite is a powerful activator of the Third Eye and Solar Plexus Chakras. It reminds you to trust your inner strength and intuition as you progress on your life's journey. Look into the blue stormy appearance of Pietersite and find the golden flashes of light through the darkness, you will be reminded that without the darkness there is no light.
