Pietersite is a brecciated chalcedony containing silicified crocidolite fibres that create dramatic, storm-like chatoyant patterns in blues, golds and red-browns. Namibian Pietersite from the Outjo district is the classic and rarer material, discovered in 1962 by Sid Pieters. It is generally considered superior in character to the later Chinese production and is highly sought after by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePietersite (Brecciated Chalcedony with Crocidolite)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED FEATURES \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eTrigonal, Rare\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED COLOURS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eBlue, Gold, Red, Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e6.5 to 7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLocality = Outjo, Namibia\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Low Grade\u003cbr\u003eSize = 25 - 62 mm \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PIETERSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50459836481729,"sku":"186-853-260804KW","price":2296.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/186853_7.jpg?v=1785853543","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/polished-rare-pietersite-jewellery-free-forms-x-30-from-outjo-namibia","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
