--------------------------------------------------------------------
Namibia is the only place where Pietersite can currently be found. In the 1990s, material similar to Pietersite was discovered in Hunan Province of China, but the mine was closed a few years after its pietersite had become unavailable. Limited production from Namibia has made Pietersite quite difficult to find.

Pietersite, also called "eagle's eye," ๐ฆ
๐๏ธ was named in honor of Sid Pieters who discovered it in 1962 in Namibia, Africa. Pietersite is a trade name for a dark blue-grey breccia aggregate made up mainly of hawk's eye and tigereye. It is a variety of chalcedony (itself a variety of quartz) with embedded fibers of amphibole minerals in varying degrees of alteration. The fibers cause a blue chatoyancy like that seen in tigereye
