Pyrite | Raw Specimen | Medium

Large Tumbled Pyrite

Pyrite (also known as Fool’s Gold) is a shiny and radiant stone that has the ability to attract the energies of wealth and abundance.  Though it carries Earth energy, it is typically associated with fire energy traits, resonating with warmth, the sun, vitality, and inner power.

Pyrite is an excellent defensive stone that is capable of shielding against physical, etheric, and emotional damage. It helps keep out negative vibrations and pollutants by creating an energy field within one’s aura. This makes it helpful when performing dangerous work, as it can ward against harm. This protection extends into the body, as this stone is thought to be capable of repairing RNA and DNA, as well as prevent diseases.

The Incas and Aztecs polished large slabs of this stone for use as mirrors and for scrying.

Pyrite Specimen Care

All gemstones are unique and special. Variation in color and inclusions are natural and to be expected. We have selected all of our stones for their high vibration and quality. Bathe in full moonlight regularly to energize crystals. Cleanse regularly by placing on a piece of selenite or by moving through the smoke of sage. These stones can be gently washed with soap and water if necessary.
