About the stone: What is blue Pietersite?  Pietersite is a trade name for a dark blue-grey breccia aggregate made up mainly of hawk's eye and tiger eye. It is a variety of chalcedony (itself a variety of quartz) with embedded fibers of amphibole minerals in varying degrees of alteration. 
 
Why is Pietersite so expensive?  This stone is very rare and only has two known localities (Kuraman, Namibia; and Xichuan, Henan Province, China), with only one of them still being active. ... This is because of the rarity and limited quantity of the stone making it highly valuable and expensive.
 
Spiritual properties: Pietersite is known as the tempest stone because of the hurricanes of energies that this stone can hold, which can bring positive changes to the one who wears it.  It signifies the wild storm that can rage inside you, and the cleansing and renewal that it can bring after the storm has passed.
