crocidolite in pietersite
Detailed sheet
pietersite
Discovered in 1962 by Pieters in Namibia, this breach consists of an hawk eye and a tiger’s eye (crocidolite).
Subsequently, it was discovered in China a rock quite close in appearance to Pietersite, which would be a amphibole rich in torendrikite instead of crocidolite. This new rock has entered the market in the 1990s.
