Nellite is a material mined on a neighboring claim to the famous African Pietersite deposit. While this material can have pietersite like properties, it is not a piesterite, despite being marketed as it by many vendors.
Nellite can have beautiful chatoyancy and often features a unique gold and blue coloration mix. It can cab beautifully but expect to hit some fractures. It can sometimes also need to be treated. But boy, it pays off when you get a nice slab and cab of it! It can be lots of fun to work with, and the Nellite we have in stock is some of the best!

I do my best to represent the stones with photos. I don't enhance pictures, though sometimes brightness and contrast on monitors may differ, and while an image may look just like the rock on my end, it will sometimes appear brighter or duller on your end. I run my monitor using the default brightness and contrast settings. All rough photos are generally taken wet with water unless otherwise specified.
