Pyrite

Despite its illustrious name, Pyrite is actually an earth stone rich in iron sulfide – hewn from the far reaches of Namibia, the mystical heartlands of Peru, the golden mountains of Spain and Mexico, and the icy distances of Canada. With shades of pale brass or a richer gold color, Pyrite is a pretty stone that holds its own when it comes to a dazzling metallic luster. In homage to its name, it’s one of the only healing crystals that can also strike sparks If struck hard enough and has a similar look and feel to it as Marcasite. Pyrite has earnt the nickname Fools Gold, thanks to its visually striking similar appearance to the precious metal. But far from foolish, anyone who holds Pyrite close to their heart will find their personal powers are multiplied.
