PIETERSITE - Colors include blues, rusty reds, golds and browns. The Chinese one also has shades of gold. The surface looks rather chaotic, with streaks and colors in every direction because during formation of the crystal, the materials that compose it were broken apart, swirled every which way, and then were reformed and cemented together by quartz. It was discovered by a man named Sid Pieters in 1962 in Namibia. He registered his find in Britain and the discovery was published in 1964, named Pietersite in his honor. Pietersite can be found in Namibia and Hunan province China.
