Pietersite from Namibia is known for its rich mix of deep blue, gold, and brown hues with swirling, fibrous patterns. Its signature chatoyancy—a shimmering effect caused by fibrous crocidolite inclusions—creates a dynamic play of light across the surface. Namibia produces some of the finest Pietersite, valued for its intense colors and distinct optical properties.
