story

In 1962, Sid Peters discovered perhaps one of the most beautiful and certainly the rarest stones you will ever see. The Petersite is simply stunning and can include blue, red, gold, and brown.

Namibia is the main source of the stones. But we also find them in other African countries as well as in China. This is a kind of tiger's eye, but with different features of the pattern. We owe the beauty of pitersite to the geological processes of the Earth. After folding, as well as pressing, breaking and shaping with quartz.

Like cement, it exhibits a fantastic variation on the cat's eye effect. While other cat's eye stones have linear stripes in their pattern. There is no end to the patterns that can be found in stone. They can be chaotic, as well as circular, linear, or any combination of groups. Maybe they all exist in the same stone.
