These are the semi-precious Pietersite smooth and carved beads we currently have in stock.

Pietersite can range anywhere from gold, red, blue, brown with any combination of these colors. The gemstone itself is a combination of many that have been broken apart and re-cemented with silica (brecciation). Because of this, the patterns of colors throughout the stones are variable. It has a silky, fibrous luster. Pietersite is found only in China and Namibia. It gets it's name from the person who discovered it, named Pieter.
