Pietersite, known as the Tempest Stone, is a silicified Riebeckite with Limonite and a member of the Quartz family. This mineral was recently discovered in 1964. Pietersite crystallizes in the form of masses in Jasper where the inclusions are pseudomorphs after Asbestos. What that means is that it forms in the crevices of Jasper where Asbestos once was. A common misconception is that this stone is Tiger Eye and Hawk Eye (Falcon Eye). That simply isn’t true.

Labradorite gemstones are a plagioclase mineral. Plagioclase minerals are feldspars that range from pure albite to pure anthorite. The gem labradorite falls into the 50-70% anthorite category with a 50-70% calcium to 30-50% sodium structure. Labradorite is most commonly known for its brilliant flashes of color called labradoressence caused by lamellar twinning inside the crystal.
