Pietersite Rectangle Cab Sterling Silver Pendant

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this pendant: Pietersite Rectangle Cab Sterling Silver Pendant (shop SKU SFPIETP19).

Pietersite is a trade name for a brecciated, chatoyant stone of hawk's-eye and tiger's-eye silica, typically in gold, blue, and brown swirls. In crystal traditions, pietersite is associated with vision and change. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. The title describes a cabochon, a smoothly rounded, unfaceted cut. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
