Fact ~ Pyrite’s name comes from the Greek, pyrites lithos, “the stone which strikes fire.” It was commonly used as a fire starter and in being so, is a valued gift to human civilization.
Metaphysical Properties ~
It is a fantastic protection stone, removing EMF radiation, and other external influences that bring the body down. Once we feel protected on the outside, like a shield in battle, it encourages our confidence to build. Notice when using it, the strength and determination you will find, and your decisiveness will improve too. Influencing the Sacral Chakra, it is going to inspire you once again, and find that lust and drive in life. It is also a great bringer of positive energy.
