Pietersite is the commercial name for a breccia-like mixture of hawk's eye and tiger's eye, ranging from dark blue-gray to brown-yellow in color and, by definition, a rock.
It was discovered in 1962 by Sidney “Sid” Pieters in southwest Africa (now Namibia), and the stone is named after him. The stated exact locality is Hopewell Farm, about 40 km northeast of the town of Outjo in the Kunene region. The only other known locality (as of 2017) is Nanyang in Henan Province, China, where Pietersite was discovered in 1993.
Pietersite is used exclusively as a gem and is offered in cabochon or flat-cut forms and is processed into decorative objects.
Other sources describe Pietersite as a variety of chalcedony with fibrous inclusions of amphibole minerals. Hawk’s eye and tiger’s eye, however, are microcrystalline varieties of quartz, containing the same basic substance, and the crocidolite- or hornblende fibers embedded in tiger’s eye and hawk’s eye belong to the amphibole group.
