What Is Pyrite?

Pyrite is known as fool's gold due to its sparkly gold & silver color. It resonates with both earth and fire energies and enhances the masculine. A stone of action, it brings confidence and will to bring things to completion. If overworked and tired mentally, having pyrite around will help overcome this. It is also known to bring money and material benefits. Pyrite is also used as a protective shield and is good for grounding. In its natural state, pyrite is found in clusters and cubes. Even the clusters have tiny cubic formations that sparkle like stars. Place it in the southeast of your workplace/ office or even the southeast corner of your work table to enhance your earnings and recover any pending money due to you.

What is a cluster?

A cluster is a group of crystals that grow together naturally on the same base or matrix. Since there are many points growing close to each other the energy is multiplied and amplified. The qualities of the stone are much more than a single point or stone. Clusters can be of many sizes. The points in the cluster can also be of different sizes, depending on the stone or the place of origin.
