The cabochons on the substrate.
Quite exciting with their iridescence, the cabochons of petersite are chalcedony with "embedded" fibers of amphibole minerals with varying degrees of variation.
In this case, dark blue, gray - blue iridescences of amphibole fibers prevail.
The fibers cause iridescence (play) similar to that seen in the quartz group - falcon, tiger's eye.
The polishing of petersite is good, in places it is not mirrored, there is a wild surface (under-polishing), but this does not make cabochons less attractive.

On request, we will make a video or additional photos in WhatsApp, Viber, etc., where we will show a stunning silky shine and the play of the stone.


Usually, the color scheme of the Namibian Pietersite includes a blue color in its total mass, which varies from a light, grayish-blue to a dark midnight shade and a little red-gold, orange-brown.
Chinese petersite unlike Namibian-has a brownish-red body color, while Namibian petersite is predominantly blue and all shades of blue..
Inclusions of crocidolite in chalcedony give Golden, yellow-orange or fiery red colors, which increase its value, because they have a characteristically beautiful and chaotic iridescence.
