Pietersite is the trade name for a breccia-like mixture of hawk's eye and tiger's eye of dark blue-gray to brown-yellow color and thereby 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 precise find location is given as Hopewell Farm, about 40 km northeast of the town Outjo in the Kunene region. The only other known site (as of 2017) is Nanyang in Henan province, China, where Pietersite was discovered in 1993.
Pietersite is used exclusively as a gemstone and offered in cabochon or tabular cut, as well as fashioned into decorative objects.
According to other sources, Pietersite is described as a variety of chalcedony with fibrous inclusions of amphibole minerals. Hawk's eye and tiger's eye, however, are microcrystalline varieties of quartz, so they share the same basic substance, and the crocidolite- or hornblende fibers embedded in tiger's eye and hawk's eye belong to the amphibole group.
