Large Pietersite Slab – Rare Ouitja Mine Namibia
Stormy Blue, Gray & Gold Chatoyancy. From a Mine Now Permanently Closed. This Piece of Geological History Won’t Come Again.
This is your chance to own a piece of geological history. This large Pietersite slab comes from the famed Ouitja mine in Namibia — a source now fully mined out and permanently closed. No new material will ever come from this location again, making every piece from this mine a genuinely finite and increasingly rare collector’s treasure.
Displaying the dramatic chatoyancy and stormy swirls of blue, gray, and gold that Pietersite is celebrated for, this thin slab reveals the wild, chaotic energy of the stone in its most natural, untouched form. Whether displayed as-is, used as a lapidary project, or kept as a rare investment piece, this slab is exceptional.
