Science and Origin of Pyrite
Pyrite which is also known as fool's gold is an iron sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the form of botryoids, stalactites, cubes, and masses. This stone can act as a secondary mineral, constantly in conjunction with others such as lapis lazuli, turquoise, and quartz.
This stone was first recorded by Dioscorides in 50 AD. C. and is named after the Greek word "pyro", which means "fire". This name was chosen because of the sparks that arise when two parts collide. Pyrite was used in many ways in ancient civilizations and is still widely used today in making walls for houses.
Far from being just a “fool’s gold”, Pyrite has been found to be a firm favorite of ancient royalty. Its appearance in the high court dates back to the era of the Greek and Roman Empire. Archaeologists have found amulets, rings, relics, pins, and earrings from this time period made from this juicy mineral!
This divine AF crystal is also said to have immense healing powers and has been used in ceremonies by the ancient Native Americans, making it a stone favored by both the kings and the shamans. If it’s good enough for them, it’s surely more than good enough for us, too!

Manifestation
This mineral is very powerful in terms of manifestation as well. Wearing a stone or meditating with a piece of pyrite every day can have a dramatic effect on your life. because it anchors in fortitude and determination, making you feel powerful and unstoppable!
We encourage you to always say out loud what you want in your life or write down your manifestations. From there you develop these thoughts and ideas into a tangible product. Hearing yourself say what you want or seeing your written intentions can remind you that it is not only possible, but entirely achievable to see manifest into 3D reality.
HOW TO HEAL: While most will know Pyrite as a stone of abundance, not many know that it is also, a stone of focused self-control, helping anchor an overactive imagination and spiritual energies.
Pyrite helps you break away from self-limiting beliefs and behaviors so that you radiate and resonate living golden energy. Working with pyrite promotes a cycle of positive returns. It starts with nurturing positive thoughts that translate into positive actions, offering opportunities, and encouraging more positive thinking.

The world is yours for the taking!
The additional guiding and grounding properties of pyrite flush away negative energy; its transformation will continue to have increasingly positive results, making it the perfect stone for manifesting during the New Year’s.
Pyrite guides you to bring more wealth and prosperity into your life by stimulating self-examination. The active yang energy of pyrite may bring up something that you may be trying to ignore. But this confrontation helps you challenge your negative tendencies, and allows you to create new habits that are more in line with what you are trying to manifest.
By gently helping you to move through patterns of self-doubt whilst attracting wealth to you at the same time, Pyrite is the stone to have for those who are seeking next-level expansion in 2022 (and beyond!)
RITUAL WE SUGGEST YOU TO DO:
Sit quiet and focus on your breath for a couple of minutes. Sink into your body. With your Pyrite in your hand or around you, see in your mind’s eye your heart center opening. See it radiate with beaming bright light. Visualize a glowing cord from your heart center connecting to your Pyrite. Visualize the glow turn to a brilliant yellow gold. Feel the warmth from the Pyrite fill your chest center. Then feel and see the colors and gentle heat shine through your entire body and aura. Bask in this yummy feeling of support, confidence and energy.
When you feel you are incased in Pyrite’s protective and revitalizing energy, start to recall a time in your life when you felt the most happy and free. There is no structure to these memories or feelings so explore and indulge in all the play and glee. If you cannot think of a memory, make one up! What would bring you the most joy in this moment. Take your time and lean into the curiosity.
Now that you’ve connected with a feeling that fills your cup, ask Pyrite to attract and anchor more of that feeling into your present day-to-day life. Take a few moments here wrapping up your intentions. When you are ready to come back to your body, thank your mineral ally and start wiggling your fingers and toes to fully arrive in the present. For extra manifesting force, write down that image/feeling/goal on a piece of paper and put it somewhere you can see it and/or place it under your Pyrite.)
