Pietersite 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. His discovery was published in 1964, and the material was named Pietersite.
Pietersite is a mix of blue and gold tiger's eye in quartz which has been folded and stressed in the Earth. It has the lovely iridescence of tiger's eye but not in structured bands, more in swirls and swathes.
