Pyrite
Abundance, protection, confidence
What is Pyrite?
Pyrite — fool's gold — is iron sulfide that crystallizes in brassy metallic cubes. Its glitter fooled prospectors, but its spark ignited fires: strike it against steel and it throws real sparks.
Meaning & symbolism
Pyrite symbolizes ambition, shrewdness, and self-made wealth — glitter with grit behind it. It anchors abundance stacks and desk-side charms.
How to wear & pair it
Its brassy metal pairs richly with citrine, tiger's eye, and green aventurine in prosperity designs. A few 8mm pyrite beads go a long way.
Care
Keep dry — prolonged moisture can oxidize the surface. A dry cloth keeps its metallic shine.

Frequently asked
Is pyrite real gold?
No — it is iron sulfide, but its cubic crystals and brassy luster are gorgeous in their own right, and it symbolizes earned (not lucky) wealth.
Why pair pyrite with citrine?
It is the classic abundance duo: citrine for optimistic vision, pyrite for the discipline to build it.
