These are the semi-precious Pietersite smooth, faceted, 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.
