characteristics
This stone is made up of hardened silicate of fibrous crystals of an amphibole known as‘riebeckite.' The fibers are classified as crocidolite asbestos (blue asbestos). While asbestos have a dangerous image, the hardened silicate of the fibers means there is absolutely no harm to the human body. The type of stone with disordered curly fibers is called‘Pietersite.' If you cut the stone it will emit chatoyance through lighting (an effect of light that makes the stone look like a cat's eye). Depending on the color, sometimes it may look like a tiger's eye, and hence the name of the stone.
