Pyrite is a shiny, brass-gold mineral of iron and sulfur, nicknamed fool's gold, known in crystal teachings as a stone of abundance, confidence and protective energy.
Why It Matters
Pyrite takes its name from the Greek word for fire, and its golden shine makes it a favorite stone for attracting prosperity and self-belief. Teachers connect it with the solar plexus and suggest keeping it in a workspace to support focus, action and a strong sense of worth. It is a stone for those ready to take inspired action on their goals.
