The piestersite cubes with phase are faceted and have a size of about 2 x 2 x 2mm; the whole piestersite strand is about 38cm long.
Also known as "stormstone", Pietersite is a mixture of the minerals Tiger's Eye and Falcon's Eye.
The stone medicine uses the mineral to support changes and in stormy, turbulent times to process impressions faster and to cope with conflicts.
The first find of Pietersite was made in 1962 by mineral dealer Sidney "Sid" Pieters in Namibia (then Southwest Africa); the stone is also named after him. The spelling petersite, pieterisite or pietersiet is therefore not correct.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
