I wrapped a natural polished pietersite crystal with 925 sterling silver wire. This comes with a 24 inch silver filled chain. The pietersite has a beautiful pattern of blue and gold, with flashes of chatoyancy. It is approximately 21x14mm.

Pietersite is a variety of quartz that also includes tiger's eye and jasper. It has similar properties to tiger's eye, but with different patterns due to its brecciated formation. It exhibits a changing luster from light reflection. Chatoyant minerals display luminous bands which appear to move as the specimen is rotated. Such minerals are composed of parallel fibers or inclusions which reflect light to form narrow bands of light.

Colors include various blues, golds and reds, that may appear together or alone. Blue is the rarest color. Pietersite is also called tempest stone because of its swirling colors that resemble a storm. 

Pietersite can increase personal will and intuitive abilities. It can enhance meditation and help with telepathic journeys. It is a good grounding stone and offers protection from elemental energies and negative emotions. Pietersite boosts self esteem and can increase confidence. It is a stone of transformation and can bring about chaotic but necessary change.
