Highly sought after for its dynamic interplay of color and light, Pietersite is a rare variety of Chalcedony prized by collectors. This exceptional Namibian specimen features a polished teardrop cabochon alive with swirling ribbons of blue, gold, and smoky black. The chatoyant fibers shimmer as the stone moves, revealing patterns that evoke stormy skies and shifting currents. Each hue blends seamlessly into the next, creating depth and energy within the glossy surface. This is one superb example of Pietersite's dramatic natural artistry and enduring allure.
