Description
Chatoyant Arizona Pietersite Sphere
This rare mineral is known as “Arizona Pietersite” because of its superb chatoyant cat’s eye effect.
This gemstone material is actually Serpentine with Chrysotile fibers and comes in several varieties-from gold to root beer to silver flash, and from avocado green to root beer brown Serpentine. Polished rocks cut from this material seem to glow with their own internal light.
The material comes from a very remote and rugged part of Arizona. It was first discovered as a lapidary material in the 1950’s, but requires an experience cutter as it can be challenging.
Origin: Arizona, USA
