A gemstone steeped in history
Pietersite is a relatively recent discovery in the world of gemstones, first found in the late 1960s in Namibia. Often called the “Tempest Stone” due to its swirling, storm-like patterns, it quickly gained popularity among artisans and collectors alike. Its captivating mix of blue and brown colours, caused by fibrous amphibole minerals, offers a fresh alternative to more traditional gemstones.

Myth, folklore and the stirring appeal of Pietersite
Traditionally, Pietersite is believed to embody the power of the storm. Local lore suggests it carries the ability to clear one’s mind and aid in decision-making during turbulent times. Many tales speak of Pietersite as a stone that invites courage and strength, helping to dispel fear and anxiety, much like the calming after a tempest.

Healing properties attributed to Pietersite beads
In holistic circles, Pietersite is celebrated for its grounding and protective qualities. It is thought to stimulate intuition and encourage self-expression. Many wearers seek Pietersite beads to balance emotional turmoil and promote mental clarity, fostering a harmonious state of mind.

Geographical and physical attributes of Pietersite
Originating primarily from Namibia, Pietersite ranks around 6.5 to 7 on the MOHS hardness scale, making it durable enough for everyday jewellery use while still requiring some care. Its stunning chatoyancy results from tiger’s eye and hawk’s eye fibres formed during metamorphic processes, distinguishing it from other gemstones with its dramatic, swirling patterns.
