Pietersite, Blue Pietersite is sometimes called "Hawk's Eye" or "Eagle's Eye", was discovered by Sid Pieters in 1962 while he was prospecting some farm land in Namibia, Africa. After his discovery, he registered the find in the mineral records of Britain. Currently there are only two known sources of Pietersite; China and Africa. These two forms of Pietersite, are similar, but still somewhat different from each other. The China Pietersite exhibits slightly different color variations from Mr. Pieters' original mineral, but both are beautiful and are now universally recognized as Pietersite.
While Pietersite has the lovely chatoyancy of tiger eye, it is not found in continuously structured bands or fibers, more in swirls, swathes and fibrous (sometimes linear) segments. Thus the structure of the fibrous streaks in Pietersite may appear rather chaotic, and can flow or exist in many directions side-by-side like bold paint strokes.
Colors include various blues, golds and reds, that may appear together or alone. Blue is the rarest color, followed by red. The blues range from a baby blue to dark midnight hue. Golds can be light to very deep and rich, sometimes having a reddish hue. All fibrous color variations will have a superb and striking chatoyancy, the bright and subtly changing shimmer of color that moves along the surface of a gemstone as it is viewed from varying angles.
Pietersite is said to contain the "Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven", assisting one in the recognition of the beauty of the soul. Pietersite boosts the moral and teaches pride, builds self-esteem and self-image, making it a perfect stone for artists who think their work is not worth showing, or for teenagers who feel un-worthy and less important than their peers.
It enhances courage, tenacity, and ability to maintain or create what is yours. Spiritually and psychically, pietersite helps in working with angels, experiencing visions, and precognition, relating to feminine or goddess energy, as well as astral and dimensional travel.
This mineral can be used to stimulate the pineal gland and to assist one during meditative states to experience visions and pre-cognitive thoughts. It aligns the energy centers of the body while providing a grounding to the etheric body. This rarity in grounding has facilitated travel throughout the spheres of existence, culminating in access to the akashic records. It stimulates dignified power and loving guidance, assisting one in "Walking the Stage of Life".
