Pyrite occurs abundantly, forming in high and low temperatures, fooling inexperienced gold panners with its brassy, yellow look. This iron sulfide is so wildly available, it is considered one of the most found resources in the world.

The stone has been tumbled and polished to make necklaces, pins, earrings, and amulets since times of Ancient Greece, where its name sparked from their word for “fire” (pyr). Its reflective properties were used by the Incas as mirrors. North American Native Americans believed in its protective and purifying qualities and would be donned by the medicine men.

Pyrite naturally protects its wearer from psychic attacks, unstable balances in energy systems (specifically, the sacral and solar plexus chakras), clears EMF smog, and can help ease intrusive thoughts. A calming stone, it uplifts and grounds at the same time and welcomes abundance and prosperity into one’s life. It boosts vitality and cleanses the oxygen in the circulatory system, which helps the heart while also fighting viral infections.

If you’re looking for more wealth and abundance from work, place a piece of Pyrite in your workplace to welcome it. Place a piece above your door frame with specific intention to draw in what you desire. Wear it on your person when feeling unseen in order to welcome the confidence to bring yourself to light. Pyrite helps you to communicate ideas that pertain to your true path with relative ease when imbued with such intention.

Putting pyrite in water for any amount of time may produce toxic fumes.
