The crystal pyrite is also known as fool’s gold. This metallic, shimmering stone that is sometimes mistaken for gold is found all over the world. It’s the most common sulfide mineral and has the chemical composition FeS2.
Pyrite has many magical properties and is one of the best stones for protection against, negativity, anxiety, hexes and curses. It helps us stay positive, especially when we have fallen on hard times, and to heal from negative thought patterns and habits. Physically, it is good for bone healing and all kinds of infections or inflammatory conditions.
Pyrite cannot come in contact with water as that makes it deteriorate so smudging is one of the best ways of cleansing this stone. You can also cleanse it with Reiki if you prefer.
Pyrite is known as a stone of luck and abundance. It is highly beneficial to keep a piece in your work area where you can see it daily. Alternatively, you can carry a small piece in your wallet or wear it on your person, for instance in a crystal cage, around your neck.
