Oval Pietersite Crystal Lock-It

The Chinese called pietersite the eagles eye because of its blue gleam, or the "tempest stone. That might explain why its said to calm animals during storms, or it might be that pietersite is said to resonate to the storm element...
Pietersite was discovered by Sid Pieters in 1962 while he was prospecting some farmland 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. Currently there are only two known sources of pietersite; China and Africa. These two forms of pietersite are similar but still somewhat different from each other. The Chinese pietersite's fibrous mineral is a magnesium-rich alkalic amphibole. The African (Namibian) variety is mainly crocidolite.
The material found in China was formed from a mineral very similar to crocidolite, named torendrikite. Chinese pietersite has striking combinations of gold, red and blue color segments which sometimes also includes a deep golden brown color. Regardless of the source, pietersite will always have brecciated, fibrous bands of blue, gold and/or red tiger eye type fibers in quartz. The fibrous structure in pietersite has been folded, stressed, even fractured and/or broken apart via the earth's geologic processes. The fibrous materials have then been reformed and naturally recemented together by quartz. Stones and crystals that go through this process are referred to as brecciated, creating a finished product with multiple colors, hues and superb chatoyancy.
Colors include various blues, golds and reds, that may appear together or alone. Blue is the rarest color, followed by red.
Pietersite is a high vibration stone that is used by many healers in their energy work. It works to activate and balance the Third-Eye and Solar-Plexus Chakras, and is known as the stone that holds "the keys to heaven". This chatoyant stone is very popular with healers for its ability to stimulate the pineal gland, thus enhancing one's intuition and insight. When working with pietersite for these purposes, one will find that its ability to increase one's will can help to facilitate progress with specific spiritual goals. Attuning to Pietersite can deepen the connection to the etheric body, which is also helpful for those spiritual journeys.
