Pietersite Gemstone: Meaning, Healing Properties & Uses from Amelia Cruz's blog

A member of the quartz family, this stone is prized for its alluring look, which distinguishes it from other stones. The beauty of blue and gold that nature has portrayed on the stone almost seems to be a painting. The eagle's eye is another name for this stone. The designation of this stone is in honour of Sid Pietersite Gemstone Meaning, who found it in Namibia, Africa, in 1962. Hawk's eye and tiger's eye make up the majority of the dark blue-gray breccia conglomerate that makes up this gemstone.
