Pietersite Bracelet — Courage & Clarity

Connect with the dramatic, swirling beauty of this Pietersite Bracelet, handcrafted from natural Pietersite gemstone beads sourced from China. Known for its striking mixture of deep blue, golden brown, bronze, rust, gray and dark brown coloring, Pietersite can display remarkable flowing patterns and silky reflective areas that seem to shift as the polished beads move through the light.

One of Pietersite’s most distinctive characteristics is its naturally dynamic appearance. Individual beads may display storm-like swirls, streaks, feathered patterns and reflective bands created by fibrous mineral inclusions within the stone. Depending on the individual bead and lighting, some areas may appear richly blue while others reveal golden, bronze, reddish-brown or darker earthy tones.

Also known as Pietersite Stone, Pietersite Gemstone, Pietersite Crystal, Natural Pietersite, Pietersite Beads and Pietersite Jewelry, this unusual gemstone is a brecciated variety of chalcedony containing fibrous mineral inclusions that can create its characteristic chatoyant or shimmering appearance.

Because natural gemstone appearance and marketplace terminology can vary, this bracelet is identified and sold according to the information supplied to us by our gemstone supplier.

Pietersite is traditionally associated with courage, clarity, transformation, confidence, intuition, focus and personal strength. Its dramatic swirling appearance has also earned it the popular nickname “Tempest Stone,” reflecting the storm-like patterns visible throughout many specimens.

Each bracelet is carefully handcrafted using smooth round 6MM, 8MM, 10MM, 12MM Pietersite beads and durable stretch elastic. Choose your wrist measurement for a comfortable, custom fit from 5.5 inches through 8.5 inches.
