Pietersite was found in Africa in 1962 by Sid Pieters. It is a Gemstone with Whirling gold, Blue, or red hue bands Commonly cemented with Quartz. Pietersite was uncovered by Sid Pieter’s during 1962 while he was Searching for farmland in Namibia, Africa. After his discoveries, he enrolled his discoveries in the mineral records of Britain. His complete finding wasn’t published until 1964. The Stone was to be known as “Pietersite”. There have been some doubts regarding this material as it is often referred the “Eagle’s Eye” & “Tempest Stone”, and said to a mix of Gold Tiger’s Eye and Blue Quartz, which was present in the Earth.
For many years, this Gemstone was believed and only Mined in Namibia. In 1993, a comparative set of materials was discovered in Hunan State in China, although the specimens did not move nearer to the market until 1997. It is now believed that production in China has shut, and a Restricted amount from Namibia has caused Pietersite very elusive. This Gemstone was named after the father of the originator, Louis Pieters.
