Oh my! Pietersite makes me tingle all over with its beauty, high spiritual energy and super rarity! Just back from Tucson, this gorgeous group of EXTRA Quality Stones is DIRECT from the mine in South Africa and SOOOOOO very special. I hand selected these for their beautiful marbling and shimmering chatoyancy (view it in sunlight). You will swoon just like me! Ahhh...rare and splendid Pietersite! These extra large size stones are true treasures...and each is jewelry quality so ideal for wire wrapping or making something extra special. They are primarily 3-dimensional chunky stones with organic rounded shapes and edges and bright incredible color.
You are buying 1 (One) Collector Quality, Pietersite Crystal Tumbled Stone from Namibia that is from the batch of stones pictured. This rare lot is so pretty, with rich, deep chatoyant blue/ rust/red and gold colors with marbled patterns. Each stone contains some Blue which is the most unique thing about Pietersite and each has a brilliant chatoyancy which shimmers.
You can choose from 3 sizes:
Sizes: Extra Large = Approximately 1.4" (20 - 25 gm)
XXLarge = Approximately 1.5" - 1.8" (32 - 39 gm)
Jumbo = Approximately 1.6" - 2" (45 - 50 gm)
Stones are tumbled smooth and may have very tiny vugs or semi-rough areas as these stones are not overly processed to preserve as much material as possible. Very pretty in every case!
Pietersite is a very unusual, beautiful and somewhat difficult to find crystal, as most shops don't carry it and very few people have heard of it, so it tends to be very pricey. It was only discovered and named in 1962 so there is not much historical data around it. If I had to go to that proverbial desert island with only one crystal, Pietersite would be the one!
The appearance of Pietersite is an intriguing combination of swirling masses of golden brown (sometimes with swirls of gold and blue) that have a chatoyant (shimmering) effect. CHATOYANCY, or CHATOYANCE, is the appearance of a bright, subtly changing shimmer of color which moves along the surface of a gemstone as it is viewed from different angles. The color bands are folded and mixed rather than layered so that light plays into luminous patterns that are mesmerizing!
Metaphysically, Pietersite is classified as an "Acension Stone" as it unlocks the keys to a heightened state of spiritual awareness so it is ideal for meditation or movement practices such as Yoga and Tai Chi, for shamanic journeys and past life work. I personally use it as a meditation stone and a healing crystal for many conditions. Its highest gift is the reminder and realization that we, as human beings are Spirit Beings journeying in a human experience. This realization changes everything in one's search for Truth.
