Where Does Pyrite Come From?
Pyrite can be found in many different countries around the world.
This Pyrite Crystal is a crystal from Peru (more specifically, the Huarón region of Peru), a country renowned for its high-quality Pyrite crystals.
What Is Pyrite Made Of?
Pyrite is also known as Iron Pyrite, for this mineral is composed of iron and sulfur (it is an iron sulfide mineral with a gold metallic lustre).
Pyrite is often mistaken for being Gold due to its golden colouring and tendency to be found in the same rocks as gold: Fool's Gold is thus a term that has been given to Pyrite.
What Is Healer's Gold Made Of?
Healer's Gold is a rare Pyrite variety that not only contains gold Pyrite (an Iron Sulfide Mineral), but also black Magnetite (an Iron Oxide Mineral).
The combination of Pyrite and Magnetite creates a striking stone that has variously been named as Healer's Gold or Apache Gold.
Pyrite History
The name for the mineral "Pyrite" is derived from the Greek word for fire ("Pyros"), and Pyrite was thus named because when struck against a hard surface or another Pyrite Stone, it gives off fiery sparks.
Pyrite has been found in Pre-Historic Burial Mounds, indicating that humans used Pyrite to ignite fires long before the mineral was officially named.
Pyrite was also widely used in Ancient Mesoamerica, where the Mayans polished it to create Pyrite Mirrors, for the reflective nature of the stone's surface ensured it was perfect for this role.
Pyrite Crystal Meaning, Energy, Spirituality, & Symbolism
The crystal meaning of Pyrite is vast, for Pyrite is associated spiritually with many different metaphysical properties and concepts.
Primarily, Pyrite is associated with ideas of protection, purification, fire, vitality, creativity, passion, bravery, wealth, prosperity, abundance, and good luck.
Pyrite: Good Luck Stone & Stone Of Prosperity And Abundance
Pyrite has long been believed to be a Good Luck Stone, a Stone of Prosperity, and a Stone of Abundance, due to its royal metallic gold colouring that evokes imagery of wealth and good fortune.
Pyrite is said to symbolise and attract good luck, fortune, and success (for example, financial success, and prosperity of health and wellbeing).
In Feng Shui, it is recommended that you try placing a Pyrite Crystal in the South East Corner of your home or workplace (the Wealth, Abundance and Prosperity area of a location) to improve your fortunes.
Pyrite: Protection Stone & Stone Of Strength, Courage, And Bravery
Pyrite is a Stone of Strength, and has been used as a Protection Stone throughout history.
Pyrite symbolises courage, bravery, fortitude and resilience, perseverance, victory, and the triumph over fear and adversity.
Pyrite is a stone for warriors, meant to protect one as they engage in mental or physical battles, gifting them with the strength to overcome obstacles and setbacks in their fights to achieve ultimate success and victory.
Consequently, Pyrite has oft been prized for its use as a Protective Talisman or Amulet of Protection, for both its spirit of strength and vitality and its propensity for prosperity and good fortune.
Pyrite: Fire Stone, Fire Element Crystal & Stone Of Creativity
Pyrite embodies potent elemental Fire Energy with regards to both the Classical Elements and the Chinese Five Elements (Wuxing/ Five Phases).
The fiery energy of Pyrite Stones infuses them with the spirit of bravery, motivation, will-power, imagination, passion, and creativity; symbolising the bravery of experimentation and the courage to try new things by charging into uncertain situations without fear.
Pyrite is therefore a stone for innovators, entrepreneurs, and creatives.
In Feng Shui, it is recommended that you try placing a Pyrite Crystal in the South Corner of your home or workplace (the Fame, Reputation and Recognition area of a location), or the West Corner (the Creativity and Children area of a location), to harness Pyrite's passionate, creative energy, and to inspire performing feats worthy of earning fame and fortune.
Pyrite Uses In Feng Shui
Pyrite is a very useful crystal for Feng Shui practice because its energy resonates with multiple elements and Feng Shui Bagua Map Areas.
Pyrite corresponds to the Fire Element in Feng Shui, as previously noted, but Pyrite also connects to more of the Wuxing Five Elements, including the Earth Element, and in the case of Pyrite with Black Magnetite, the Water Element as well.
Pyrite is a versatile stone in Feng Shui practice that corresponds to many areas of the Bagua Map, and thus can be placed in multiple areas of your home/workplace for maximum effect.
Where to place your Pyrite Crystal during Feng Shui practice:
-
South East Corner of your home or workplace (the Wealth, Abundance and Prosperity area of a location) to improve your luck and fortune
-
South Corner of your home or workplace (the Fame, Reputation and Recognition area of a location) to improve your status and to feel more acknowledged for your achievements by others

Pyrite Crystal Healing Properties
Pyrite is a powerful Crystal Healing Stone known for many metaphysical properties, including; protection from negative energies, enhancement of creativity, invoking of bravery and a warrior's spirit, and invigoration of the spirit via the ignition of motivation, confidence, and will-power.
Crystal healers believe that Pyrite's connection to the Fire Element gives it an intense fiery energy that gifts its user with a powerful sense of determination and vitality; if looking for crystals to boost confidence, Pyrite is the perfect stone for you.
Pyrite is also believed to be an excellent stress relieving crystal: It protects its user and helps them to feel safe and secure by keeping them grounded and by improving their self-esteem and confidence.
Consequently, Pyrite is a powerful crystal healing stone for anxiety and low mood, as well as a useful crystal for low self-esteem and crystal for tiredness.
Pyrite Chakras
Pyrite tends to resonate most with the Lower Chakras: the Root Chakra (Base Chakra), Sacral Chakra, and Solar Plexus Chakra.
Pyrite: Root Chakra Stone
Pyrite is a powerful Root Chakra Crystal, much like Black Tourmaline, Black Obsidian, and Smoky Quartz.
When used as a Root Chakra Stone, a Pyrite Stone grounds, protects, and stabilises its user, steadying them on their personal journeys of growth and transformation.
Combine a Pyrite Crystal with a crystal that connects to the higher chakras (Third Eye Chakra and Crown Chakra); such as Amethyst, Fluorite, or Indigo Gabbro; to keep you stable and grounded even as you explore psychic, astral, and spiritual realms.
Pyrite: Sacral Chakra Stone
Pyrite Crystals exude the fiery energy that is characteristic of the Sacral Chakra, and therefore can be used as Sacral Chakra Crystals to enhance joy, vitality, and pleasure.
The Sacral Chakra is the body's centre of creativity, passion, and bravery, and thus Pyrite Crystals embody these properties; Sacral Chakra Stones such as Pyrite Crystals are highly motivating and associated with carnal pleasures, sexuality, joy, and desire.
Pyrite Stones are incredibly energising when used as Sacral Chakra Stones, evoking a highly physical sense of determination, motivation, and will-power that lends itself well to acts of courage and bravery.
A stone for warriors and adventurers, Pyrite is said to ignite one's bravery and to encourage a spirit of creativity, experimentation, and innovation in its user: try combining a Pyrite Crystal with another Sacral Chakra Stone to give your creativity a big boost if you're feeling lacking in inspiration and creative spirit.
In addition to Pyrite Crystals, other examples of powerful Sacral Chakra Crystals include:
- Carnelian Crystals
-
Sardonyx Banded Agate Crystals
- Tiger's Eye Crystals
- Sunstone Crystals
- Orange Calcite Crystals
- Optical Honey Calcite Crystals
- Citrine Crystals
- Yellow Quartz Crystals (Golden Healer Quartz Crystals)
- Hematoid Quartz Crystals (Fire Quartz Crystals)
Pyrite: Solar Plexus Chakra Stone
Pyrite Crystals exude a sunny, joyful energy which energises and lifts one's mood, and therefore they connect strongly to the Solar Plexus Chakra.
When used as Solar Plexus Chakra Stones, Pyrite Crystals can boost motivation, will-power, and self-confidence.
Combine a Pyrite Stone with another Solar Plexus Chakra Crystal such as a Citrine Crystal, Yellow Quartz Crystal (Golden Healer Quartz Crystal), or Sunstone Crystal to infuse yourself with the summery energy of sunshine, happiness, and confidence.
How Hard Is Pyrite?
Pyrite measures 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness, which means that it is a durable mineral resistant to some scratching, but care should still be taken not to damage the crystal surface.
Pyrite Crystal Care
Iron Pyrite has a largely metallic composition and therefore the stone is susceptible to rusting when exposed to water.
To clean your Pyrite Crystal, it is best to avoid using water at all, or to only use small amounts of water and dry the stone as soon as possible, in order to stop the Pyrite from rusting.
