Pietersite is a stone that was first discovered by Sid Pieters in 1962 in Namibia, Africa, according to JeaneMargherite of Shimmerlings Artisan Jewelry. Pieters then registered the stone in Britain’s mineral records, and it was published in 1964 as Pietersite. Pietersite is a mix of blue and gold tiger's eye quartz, which is said to give the mineral its energetic quality. Pietersite is also said to have specific healing properties that are bestowed upon the holder; however, the stone's powers are not medically or scientifically backed, and the claims are made by practitioners of holistic healing with gems and stones.
Enhances Mental Clarity
Pietersite is commonly used by healers in their energy work, as the stone activates and balances the mind, giving it the reputation of holding "the keys to heaven," according to HealingCrystals.com, owned and operated by Foundation for Balance and Harmony. This stone is popular with healers for its ability to stimulate the pineal gland, which produces melatonin–-a hormone that regulates sleep patterns and seasonal functions. This effect is said to enhance your intuition, insight and assist you in reaching specific spiritual goals.
Improves Digestive Health
Peitersite has various physical health benefits, according to Divine Crystals. It works by balancing fluids in the body and improving nutrition. The healing properties of the stone improve gastrointestinal function and increase health of the endocrine glands, including the pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands. Pietersite also works with the female system to balance female hormones and alleviates symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and menopause. These claims are not backed by medical facts or studies.
Provides Spiritual Awareness
Pietersite is said to connect the conscious being to spiritual awareness in order to remind us that we are spiritual beings on a human journey, according to Reiki Master/Teacher and Crystal Healer, Colleen the Crystal Dragon. Pietersite is said to help people recognize the beauty of the soul to give us access to our intuition and encourage spiritual visions. Pietersite works by helping people achieve a meditative state, providing loving guidance, opening the pathway to new experiences, and building courage and tenacity. The stone’s powers are also said to give us access to higher powers that enable us to raise personal power and creativity.
