Pyrite Properties
Iron Pyrite is a strong stone to promote positive thinking and manifestation. It is a beautiful gold colour, and for hundreds of years it has been known as 'Fools Gold'
It will attract vibrant energy to your business when placed on the desk and will also boost your energy levels. Pyrite encourages self-worth and imparts energy to take action. Use pyrite for added energy and zeal to your being.
Its name comes from the Greek word for 'fire' because when you strike it against another rock, it gives off sparks and it causes a spark when it is hit with steel.
The vibration of Fools Gold helps to strengthen your willpower and may help you to conquer bad habits, and assist you to put new ideas for improved health outcomes into practice in your daily life.
Wearing it will help to enhance your creativity and it will aid the flow of thoughts and new ideas.

I use pyrite as a stone of luck in wealth and prosperity.
