Pietersite jewelry
In lithotherapy, pietersite is a stone of balance, promoting positive emotions and energizing the body as well as the mind. Pietersite strengthens self-esteem and boosts confidence in others.
This natural stone is a mixture of several stones: hawk's eye, tiger's eye, bronzite and crocidolite. These are the crocidolite inclusions that give the brown to yellow or gray to blue colors when oxidized.
Pietersite is a fairly rare stone, which was only discovered very recently, in 1962 by Sidney Pieters. Its use in jewelry only really took off in the 2000s. The main deposits are in China, Namibia, and South Africa.
