Podcast Transcript:   Crystal Confab Podcast Introduction: Are you just starting with crystals? Or maybe you have a whole collection but aren't sure how to use them? Join four crystal nerds, healers, workers, and lovers for crystal confab, a casual chat about all things crystals.   Adam Barralet: Nature is truly awe inspiring, and there's nothing more inspiring than a thunderstorm. I love them. I love the power and the rumble of the thunder, the flashes of the lightning, and the electricity that surges through the sky. And whenever there is an electrical storm, there's one crystal I run and grab. It's my Pietersite.   And that's the crystal we've decided to confab today. I'm here with Ashley, Kyle, and Nicholas, and we're about to dive into the stone of the storm. How are we today, everyone?   Nicholas Pearson: Excited.   Adam: Yay. It's an electrical kind of crystal, isn't it, Nicholas? And I know you've got some really great information to share with us about its formation because it's a really interesting looking crystal. And I'm sure the formation is really potent as well. Can you tell us a little bit about that?   Nicholas: Yeah. I have to preface this by saying, this, in no uncertain terms, is one of my all time favorite minerals. And I know we've all said that more than once, but this is the first gemstone that I truly took one look at and fell in love with. I remember visiting my local little crystal shop in the teeny tiny town I grew up in, and I'd seen almost everything in every single case except for this one dark stone in the back corner that didn't quite have a light reaching it. And so finally, you know, I turned to the owner of the shop.   I'm like, what is this one? He's like, oh, Pietersite. I think you'd actually like this. I'm surprised you'd never seen it. At that moment, he brought it out and I could turn it in the light.   I was in love. Now in that stage of my life, I was all of, like, maybe 12 years old. I just didn't have $68 to spend on a pretty chunky cabochon. I do wish that I had that money then because, you know, ten, twelve years later, it would have been worth five or seven times that. Thankfully, I've seen prices kind of recede a bit in a lot of markets here in North America in the last few years.   So it's certainly coming out in greater abundance, and I'm really grateful for that. But Pietersite is this stone that's kind of wrapped in mystery, and I think that's really appropriate for a gemstone like this. It's one that, a lot of, let's say, theories were put forward as to its formation process, but it wasn't until about, like, fifteen years ago, in 2010 that there were some pretty decent, like, good structural and chemical and optical analyses done that gave us some answers. So we have to address its relatives to better understand what makes it different. And so pietersite is very similar to tiger's eye, in a lot of ways.   They contain a lot of the same ingredients. They are predominantly quartz. They have these fibrous asbestos forms, we call them, inclusions of crocidolite and some of its altered relatives. There tend to be a lot of iron oxides and hydroxides in both. But in tiger's eye, we see these kind of broad parallel brush strokes of that chatoyant or cat's eye like pattern.   And in Pietersitezite, we see anything but that. In fact, the gemological term, and this is one of my favorites for it, my favorite gemological term maybe ever is chaotic chatoyance. And that is what this is. And, hence,
